Das maligne Lymphom zählt bei Hunden zu den häufigsten hämatopoetischen Tumorerkrankungen. Als Therapieansatz sind Chemotherapieprotokolle gebräuchlich; sie können die Lebenszeit der Patienten signifikant verlängern. Herkömmlich wird Prednisolon initial in hohen Dosen eingesetzt. Vor allem großrassige Hunde sprechen darauf häufig mit erheblichen Nebenwirkungen an. Anhand von 3 Hunden mit multizentrischem B-Zell-Lymphom konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine ebenso schnelle Remission auch ohne initiale Prednisolongabe zu erzielen ist. Der Verzicht auf Prednisolon verbessert – bei vergleichbarer Überlebenszeit – das Ansprechen auf das Rezidivprotokoll.
