Iliac crest bone marrow biopsy (BMB) has often been used as the gold standard for the detection of bone marrow metastases in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, it is likely to lead to numerous false-negative results. For this reason, we compared the results of bone scintigraphy (BS)...

After diagnosis, I perform bone marrow biopsy only in the case of clinical signs of disease evolution. This is a preview of subscription content,access via your institution Access options Subscribe to this journal Receive 12 print issues and online access...
Both cancer and fibrosis are diseases involving dysregulation of cell signaling pathways resulting in an altered cellular microenvironment which ultimately leads to progression of the condition. The two disease entities share common molecular pathophysiology and recent research has illuminated the how each pr...
early combination strategies to intensify the effect of initial therapy have been developed. Two large RCTs investigated the upfront use of HD-DXM plus rituximab in treatment-naïve ITP patients. The results showed that the addition of rituximab to HD-DXM did not elevate the early response rate...
Bone marrow aspirate may show haemophagocytosis, which on its own is not indicative of marrow involvement. Cytologically, lymphoma cells possess abundant cytoplasm with azurophilic granules. On trephine biopsy, EBER ISH is the most reliable way of defining lymphomatous infiltration [7]. ...
Ailawadhi:We would like to get a bone marrow biopsy every time if possible, but I think it is reasonable to get more data and information at this point. You could make the case either way. In this case, we have a now 79-year-old patient who has slow progression, and it ...
InflammatoryBowel Disease (IBD)can be challenging to diagnose because the signs mimic those of other conditions. IBD can only be confirmed with a biopsy, however, a presumptive diagnosis can be made if your cat responds well to treatment for the signs of the ailment. The signs include vomiting...
That's a challenge in the dormancy field: “the specimens aren't there,” he says—not the primary tumor samples, but healthy tissue likely to harbor dormant tumor cells is lacking. Tissue could come from a bone marrow biopsy taken during breast cancer surgery. It might also be a sample ...
Liquid biopsy is a non-invasive biopsy technique, done on a sample of blood or urine to test for biomarkers (biomolecules that can iden- tify or predict disease) or e.g. pieces of DNA from a tumour that are circulating in the blood. The major advantage of liquid biopsy analysis is that...
