Feline lymphoma cohort
BBMRI.at Partner's Sample Collection Profile
"Feline lymphoma cohort":
an outstanding sample collection at VetBiobank Vienna (University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna)
Lymphoma is the most common tumor in cats. This neoplasia can develop in every tissue; however, the gastrointestinal tract is in contrast to dogs and people the most frequent localization in the feline species.
The prognosis for cats suffering from intermediate or high-grade lymphoma is still poor and research in this important veterinary area continues to be under-resourced.
The clinical cohort comprises neutered and unneutered male and female patients between 7 months and 15 years. Biospecimens are collected according SOPs. Tissue samples are collected in line with the ISO standards 20166 and 20184 and are therefore suitable for molecular investigations.
