Feline Small Cell Lymphoma: Treatable Cat Cancer?

If your cat has been diagnosed with feline small cell lymphoma, you are not alone — and there is hope. In this video, Dr. Vanessa Rizzo, veterinary medical oncologist, explains: • What feline small cell lymphoma is • Common symptoms (weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy) • How it’s diagnosed (ultrasound, biopsy, flow cytometry) • Treatment options including oral chemotherapy (chlorambucil) • Expected survival times and prognosis Unlike many cancers, small cell lymphoma in cats is often very manageable. Many cats experience 1–3 years of good quality of life with appropriate treatment. Chemotherapy in cats is very different from chemotherapy in humans — our goal is always to preserve quality of life.
