DESCRIPTION:In the past 10 years flow cytometry has gained a role in veter
 inary medicine not only for research purposes but also in diagnostics. The
  development of a sufficient number of specific monoclonal antibodies allo
 wed\, at least in dogs\, the successful introduction of flow cytometric im
 munophenotyping in several fields of veterinary medicine\, of which oncolo
 gy is the most promising. In particular flow cytometry has great advantage
 s over other immunophenotyping techniques in the study of round cell tumor
 s\, due to its rapidity\, feasibility and reduced costs. The presentation 
 will discuss the advantages of flow cytometric immunophenotyping and the p
 ossible information provided for refining  the diagnosis of lymphoid neopl
 asms\, myeloid leukaemias\, histiocytic disorders\, and mast cell tumours.
  In particular\, the presentation will focus on the use of flow cytometric
  immunophenotyping in diagnosing\, staging\, and monitoring canine lymphom
 a and lymphoid leukemia and discuss possible future perspectives.
