Bone marrow biopsyPET-CTCurrently, bone marrow (BM) biopsy (BMB) is recommended in the initial staging of patients with the presumed primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL). However, the added value of BMB in the era of positron emission tomography (PET-CT) has been challenged...
This book is written as an introduction and guide to the interpretation of the bone marrow biopsy. It is intended primarily for pathologists and pathologists-in-training., but it is hoped that it may also be of interest to hematologists and oncologist who perform bone marrow biopsies on their...
bone marrow biopsy procedurebone marrow morphologybone marrow structureSummary Analysis of the bone marrow remains a basic tool in the evaluation of patients with hematopoeitic disorders. This chapter reviews the marrow biopsy procedure and the normal morphologic features of the marrow as well as ...
We evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of bone marrow biopsy (BMB) histopathology in the diagnostic approach toward SMZL and SDRL and tested whether it may serve as a substitute for spleen histopathology in the differential diagnosis between these 2 entities. To this end, we conducted a paired ...
Bone marrow biopsy is critical at the time of diagnosis to provide morphologic evidence of the phase. The biopsy can show fibrosis or the clustering of mature cells indicating whether the cancer is in chronic, accelerated, or blast phase. Knowing the phase of the disease will help choose an ...
At present, 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) cannot be used to omit a bone marrow biopsy (BMB) among initial staging procedures in follicular lymphoma (FL). The additional diagnostic value of ske
Summary— Random bone marrow aspiration biopsies of iliac crests and bone scans/skeletal X-rays were evaluated in 163 new cases of carcinoma of the prostate in order to assess the incidence of bone metastases and to compare the sensitivity of these two methods. Bone marrow biopsy revealed cancer...
The most promising types of liquid biopsy biomarkers for RCC diagnosis are circulating tumour cells, extracellular vesicles (EVs) and cell-free DNA. Circulating tumour cell assays have the highest specificity, with low processing time and costs. However, the biological characteristics and low ...
JOSÉ L. MENDOZA, MD:I agree with what you’ve said. [If] we have a suspicious case for MF, with splenomegaly and constitutional symptoms—and if after examining in the peripheral blood, we have a leucoerythroblastic picture—we do a bone marrow biopsy. We try to do NGS on the liqui...
All the haematological findings and bone marrow biopsy specimens were studied at Shafa Hospital, Jondishapur University of Medical Sciences, which is the only oncology centre in Khuzestan province. Patients were diagnosed as having AA if they satisfy two or more of the following criteria: (1) ...
