Multiparameter Flow Cytometry in the Diagnosis of Hematologic Malignancies

by Anna Porwit (Editor), Marie Christine Béné (Editor)

Overview

Master the implementation of flow cytometry techniques in diagnosing complex hematologic diseases and malignancies in patients with this comprehensive and practical guide. Featuring updated recommendations on pre-analytical steps, instrument settings and panel construction, this manual offers invaluable support for those diagnosing, treating and researching hematologic malignancies. Written by leading experts in the field, this book puts flow cytometry into everyday context. Through engaging with differential diagnoses, the manual offers an accurate description of specific features of malignancies and mimicking conditions. It also places flow cytometry in the scope of integrated diagnosis according to WHO and ICC classifications. Fully updated throughout, this second edition provides new literature and concepts, and presents new AI-based analytical methods. Richly illustrated and in full colour, this book is an ideal resource for those working in flow cytometry laboratories.
