Bone Marrow Flow Cytometry in Staging of Patients With B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Abstract: BackgroundBone marrow biopsies are routinely performed for staging patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In addition to histomorphological studies, ancillary tools may be needed for accurate diagnosis. We investigated the clinical utility of multiparameter flow cytometric examination of bone marrow aspirates.MethodsA total of 248 bone marrow specimens from 232 patients diagnosed with B-cell NHL were examined. Monoclonal antibodies directed against CD19, CD20, CD10 (or CD5), and κ and λ immunoglobuli… Show more

“…Morphological assessment of bone marrow biopsy specimens is the standard method for analyzing BM lesions in NHL. Flow cytometry is an additional approach for evaluating BM in NHL, especially when detecting a small number of lymphoma cells [44]. However, this method also has limited sensitivity.…”

“…Flow cytometry has been applied to analyze bone marrow aspirates for routine staging of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients or immunophenotyping of leukemia [ 27 , 28 ]. Therefore, in this study, we leveraged the same flow cytometry technology platform to detect dengue viral antigen.…”

“…Increase of CD3 + CD7 − T cells in bone marrow predicts invasion in patients with T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) (6,7), T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement (3,8), flow cytometry (9)(10)(11) have been greatly improved, and gradually become required examinations when the BM invasion of T-NHL was assessed. Although a growing body of evidence manifests that BM biopsy is still an irreplaceable diagnostic method (11) and the current pathological diagnosis has certain limitations, a pathological evaluation is one of the most important methods for the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma with BM invasion (12). The method based on flow cytometry has a high sensitivity, making it easier to detect the minimal BM invasion (9).…”

“…So far, BM biopsy and BM pathology are still the gold standard for diagnosis of BM invasion in T-NHL ( 5 ). However, with the technology development, several methods such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) ( 6 , 7 ), T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement ( 3 , 8 ), flow cytometry ( 9 - 11 ) have been greatly improved, and gradually become required examinations when the BM invasion of T-NHL was assessed. Although a growing body of evidence manifests that BM biopsy is still an irreplaceable diagnostic method ( 11 ) and the current pathological diagnosis has certain limitations, a pathological evaluation is one of the most important methods for the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma with BM invasion ( 12 ).…”
