Clinical Significance
The diagnosis of lymphoproliferative and hematopoietic disorders is complex. Hematopathologists and other medical professionals are available to guide test selection and to help synthesize laboratory results with the clinical history. This report will correlate flow cytometry and/or genetic testing with the bone marrow biopsy results to arrive at a diagnosis.
