ONCOLOGY TESTING

Correlative CaseView

 Correlated CaseView for a comprehensive bone marrow evaluation allows hematologists/oncologists to simplify the diagnostic process. When you check the Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation box under the Correlative CaseView section on the gold requisition, our team of experienced hematopathologists establishes a patient-specific testing course, based on patient history and the CBC report included, and then provides a one to two page summary report.

Technologies may include:
  • Bone Marrow Morphology
  • Flow Cytometry
  • Cytogenetics
  • Diagnostic FISH/PCR as needed

 

Our hematopathologists are available for consultation throughout the day to discuss a patient with a hematopoietic disorder. This lends to confident treatment decisions and a more efficient way to identify and utilize drug therapies to improve patient care and quality of life.
