Association of Blood Monocyte and Lymphocyte Count and Disease-Free Interval in Dogs with Osteosarcoma

Abstract

These results indicated that pretreatment evaluation of monocyte and lymphocyte counts provided prognostic information for dogs with appendicular OSA. Notably, most animals in this study had monocyte counts within the normal reference range, indicating that variations within the reference range of leukocyte values might also have prognostic significance.
