Lymphoma with a histologic high grade generally respond better to treatment but have shorter survival times than dogs with low grade lymphoma. [6] Dogs with B-lymphocyte tumors have a longer survival time than T-lymphocyte tumors. [1] Mediastinal lymphoma has a poorer prognosis than other types, especially those with hypercalcemia. [12]

Dogs of the Boxer breed have a better than average prognosis because of the relatively benign behavior of their mast cell tumors. [10] Multiple tumors that are treated similarly to solitary tumors do not seem to have a worse prognosis. [18]
