Are T-cell infusions still experimental in dogs? Who qualifies, and what are the things we should think about if our own dog has lymphoma?
Inspired by a question from listener Mariana Diaz regarding her Pomeranian, Joya, who is battling lymphoma, this episode explores the potential of T-cell infusions as a follow-up treatment to the CHOP chemotherapy protocol.
Join us as we consult with veterinary oncologist Dr. Megan Duffy to uncover the science, the practicality, and the future of T-cell infusions in canine cancer treatment.
