It has long been believed that the major cause of feline lymphoma was feline leukemia virus," explained Antony S. Moore, VMSc, a board-certified veterinary oncologist and director of Tufts' Harrington Oncology Program. "The results of our study clearly indicate that exposure to environmental factors such as second-hand tobacco smoke has devastating consequences for cats because it significantly increases their likelihood of contracting lymphoma."
