Correlation of flow cytometry and bone marrow biopsy in marrow involvement of lymphoma patients

Introduction: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHLs) are hematolymphoid malignancies. Bone marrow biopsy (BMB) is performed for staging. BMB findings an important indicator of prognosis and treatment planning. In this study, we compared flow cytometry in involvement lymphoma patients. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the frequency bone biopsy, based on gender, mean age between two groups with without struggling cytometry, ages all genders biopsy. Patients Methods: was cross-sectional, population included patients affected by NHL, which disease staging referred Seyed Al-Shohada hospital affiliated Isfahan University medical sciences during 2016-2020. Four color devices (PARTEC CyFlow Space, Germany) EXBIO antibody kits (Spain) were used. Results: number samples 107, 68 (63.6%) male, (standard deviation) total 40.87 (18.98) years. All diagnosed as examined Flow 14 (13.1%), 22 (20.6%). 97 cases (90.6%), diagnosis both methods same. Nine (8.4%) had only, one case (1%) only. As a result, who participated project about 21.5%. Conclusion: We concluded that evaluation using combined more efficient than or alone. also recommended physicians use at same time.
