BCRABL Minor Quantitative Test
Introduction
The BCRABL Minor Quantitative Test is a specialized diagnostic test used primarily for patients diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). This test plays a critical role in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and detecting any potential relapse. By measuring the levels of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, healthcare providers can tailor treatment plans to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects the presence and quantity of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, which is a marker for CML. It provides quantitative results that help assess how well the treatment is working and whether adjustments are needed.
