Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry IgG Heavy Chain Surface Test
Introduction
The Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry IgG Heavy Chain Surface Test is a vital diagnostic procedure used to identify and classify blood cancers, such as leukemias and lymphomas. This test employs advanced flow cytometry techniques to analyze the characteristics of cells in blood or bone marrow, providing essential information for oncologists and hematologists in diagnosing and managing hematological malignancies.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the presence of IgG heavy chain surface markers on the cells, which helps in determining the type of blood cancer a patient may have. By analyzing these markers, healthcare providers can classify the cancer and tailor treatment plans accordingly.
Who Should Consider This Test
