NTR T zone lymphoma

[hughesk83]

Hello - when reviewing canine lymphoma there are no subtypes and several canine lymphoma subtypes have been characterized based on the human WHO lymphoma/leukemia classification system. When reviewing 'lymphoma' in NCI_T many of the WHO classification lymphoma subtypes are listed however, T zone lymphoma appears absent. This is an uncommon type of lymphoma in humans but is common and well characterized in dogs. Can we add common or well characterized lymphoma subtypes under canine lymphoma or add T zone lymphoma under 'lymphoma'. I believe the first option might be best to add the common/characterized lymphoma subtypes under 'canine lymphoma' including, canine: diffuse large B cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, peripheral T cell lymphoma, T zone lymphoma, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute leukemia and diffuse small B cell lymphoma.

Hi @hughesk83 @diatomsRcool , the developers of the NCIt content don't monitor github. Sometimes they'll engage directly if there's an email associated with the github account. If you can send the request to ncithesaurus@mail.nih.gov it will work better for them and they'll contact you if there's some back-and-forth required. I've already forwarded the URL to this ticket but they asked me whether I knew the user's email. I think they wanted to contact @hughesk83 directly.
