Oncology Chromosome Analysis

Use

Cytogenetic analysis can provide an important clinical understanding for diagnosis, prognosis, and available therapies in a wide variety of hematologic tumors. Chromosomal changes can consist of additions and deletions of whole chromosomes or structural changes such as insertions, inversions, translocations, and deletions. In leukemias and lymphomas, chromosomal translocations are identified as a common karyotypic change aiding in disease diagnosis.
