Immunophenotyping for haematological malignancies
Description:
To diagnose and classify suspected haematological abnormalities involving Leucocytes. Immunophenotyping is offered to supplement and complement the services provided by cytogenetics and minimal residual disease as part of a comprehensive diagnostic service.
Immunophenotyping is carried out to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of the broad spectrum of haematological malignancies, including but not limited to chronic lymphoproliferative diseases (LPD), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and plasma cell disorders.
A panel of antibodies will be selected based on the clinical information provided and if indicated by our initial morphology and flow cytometry findings further testing may be performed at the discretion of senior member of the Immunophenotyping team and /or haematology consultant. This system allows us to ensure appropriate and thorough investigations have been performed and reduce the need for further samples to be taken.
