Overview
Other diagnostic studies for chronic myelogenous leukemia include bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, lumbar puncture, and lymph node biopsy.
Other diagnostic studies
Other diagnostic studies for chronic myelogenous leukemia include:
- Used to detect and/or determine the type of leukemic cells
- Used to detect any metastasis to the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF)
- Used to detect and/or determine the type of leukemic cells
Controversy exists over so-called Ph-negative CML, or cases of suspected CML in which the Philadelphia chromosome cannot be detected. Many such patients in fact have complex chromosomal abnormalities which mask the (9;22) translocation, or have evidence of the translocation by FISH or RT-PCR in spite of normal routine karyotyping.[1] The small subset of patients without detectable molecular evidence of bcr-abl fusion may be better classified as having an undifferentiated myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disorder, as their clinical course tends to be different from patients with CML.[2]
