Feline intestinal lymphoma is a common cancer in older cats that is manageable with appropriate treatment, maintaining quality of life for extended periods.
Feline intestinal lymphoma, particularly small cell type, is one of the most manageable feline cancers with excellent welfare outcomes during treatment. Cats on chlorambucil and prednisolone typically maintain appetite, weight, and quality of life while remaining in remission. The welfare imperative is accurate diagnosis - misclassification as IBD leads to incorrect treatment - and appropriate monitoring to detect relapse early when treatment adjustment can maintain remission.
