The incidence of malignant cells in routine bone-marrow examination

The Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Metastases

Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...

Harvesting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from live rats and the in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells

In the bone marrow, there are certain populations of stem cell sources with the capacity to differentiate into several different types of cells. Ideally, cell transplants would be readily obtainable, easy to expand and bank, and capable of surviving for sufficient periods of time. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) possess all of these characteristics. One of the most important benefi...

Examination of Bone Marrow

Diagnostic Importance of Bone Marrow Examination in Haematological Malignant and Non-malignant Disorders.

BACKGROUND Bone marrow examination is regarded as one of the most important diagnostic procedure to assess various haematological disorders. The uses and advantages of bone marrow aspiration are numerous. This study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the frequency of involvement of bone marrow with malignant and non-malignant haematological and other clinical disorders and to observe the si...

Routine bone marrow examination in the management of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia of childhood.

Eighty-four children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) who had relapsed in bone marrow were studied to assess whether treatment would be more successful if relapse was detected before the disease became clinically evident. Patients whose relapse was detected by routine bone marrow examination before the disease became apparent were compared with those whose relapse was suspected from cli...
