Oh, I am so out of date… look
at this article from the nice people at Oncology Central about the latest
genetic testing in making the diagnosis and assessing the prognosis in cases of
AML.
Back in the day we’d go to the patient’s
bedside with the consultant haematologist who would bore a hole in their chest
and suck out some bone marrow. They’d give us a syringe full of the stuff. We’d
make smears of it, and (once it was dry) we’d run two through the
staining machine twice, and do a sudan black stain on another.
I suppose that realizing I’m out of date
is a good thing… now I know where to direct myself.
