Flow cytometry is a laboratory technique used to analyze and characterize individual cells or particles by passing them through a laser beam, which measures their size, shape and chemical properties. This information is essential for identifying and quantifying different cell types, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as cancer, blood disorders and immune diseases.Cell samples are collected from blood, bone marrow, or tissue.
Lymphoma, or lymph node cancer, is a type of cancer in which lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) divide and multiply uncontrollably. It is one of the most common cancers in dogs and typically arises in lymph nodes of the spleen, liver, intestines, or skin.
Treatment usually involves chemotherapy to improve quality of life, although a complete cure is unfortunately not possible.
