Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD61 Test
Introduction
The Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD61 Test is a vital diagnostic tool used in the field of oncology and hematology. This test enables healthcare professionals to analyze the characteristics of blood cells, particularly in the context of cancer diagnosis and monitoring. By identifying specific markers on the surface of cells, this test helps in determining the type of hematological malignancy present, thereby guiding treatment decisions.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the expression of CD61, a protein found on the surface of platelets and certain blood cells. By utilizing flow cytometry, the test provides detailed information regarding the cell populations in a blood sample, allowing for the identification of abnormal cells associated with various types of blood cancers.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients who exhibit symptoms such as unexplained bruising, prolonged bleeding, fatigue, or have risk factors for hematological cancers should consider the Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD61 Test. It is particularly recommended for individuals with a family history of blood disorders or those who have previously been diagnosed with cancer.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of hematological malignancies.
- Guides treatment plans based on specific cell characteristics.
- Helps monitor disease progression or response to therapy.
- Non-invasive and quick turnaround time for results.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD61 Test will indicate the presence or absence of abnormal cell populations. It is essential to discuss these results with your oncologist or hematologist, who can provide a comprehensive interpretation based on your clinical history and other diagnostic findings.
