Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL) Follow‑Up Flow Panel
Use
A flow cytometry–based immunophenotyping assay intended for follow-up assessment in patients with known Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL). It helps evaluate residual disease using markers indicative of HCL immunophenotype after treatment. Prior immunophenotyping (Standard or Extended Flow Panel) at NeoGenomics is strongly recommended to interpret residual disease assessment accurately. Clinical history including timing after treatment, prior flow cytometry or pathology reports, and CBC results are requested to improve diagnostic interpretation.
