Clinical Significance
Diagnosis and clinical management of acute and chronic lymphoid and non-lymphoid leukemias. Monitor response to treatment and recurrent disease relapses. Identifies various types and subtypes of malignant lymphomas, such as B-cell, T-cell, and true histiocytic. Differentiates lymphomas from other cancers and non-malignant processes.
