BCH Order Code NGSHM OncoHeme Next-Generation Sequencing for Myeloid Neoplasms, Varies
Useful For
Evaluation of hematologic neoplasms, specifically of myeloid origin (eg, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasm, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm) at the time of diagnosis or possibly disease relapse, to help determine diagnostic classification and provide prognostic or therapeutic information for clinical management
Determine the presence of new clinically important gene mutation changes at relapse
