Patient Information
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body. It also helps transport carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
The CBC test is a common blood test that provides important information about the types and numbers of cells in the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It can help diagnose a variety of conditions, such as anemia, infection, inflammation, and blood disorders. The CBC results, along with other tests and clinical findings, aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with hematological disorders.
A bone marrow biopsy involves the removal of a small sample of bone marrow tissue for examination under a microscope. It is performed to diagnose various blood disorders, such as leukemia, lymphoma, anemia, and certain infections. It provides information about the composition of the bone marrow, including the types and numbers of blood cells being produced.
Common symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness or lightheadedness, cold hands and feet, and headaches. Severe anemia may also cause chest pain, rapid heartbeat, and cognitive problems.
Benign hematological disorders are non-cancerous conditions that affect the blood or bone marrow, such as anemia or thrombocytopenia. Malignant hematological disorders, on the other hand, are cancers that originate from blood-forming tissues, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. Malignant disorders involve uncontrolled growth and proliferation of abnormal cells.
Risk factors for hematological cancers include genetic predisposition, exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, immune system disorders, viral infections (such as Epstein-Barr virus or human T-cell leukemia virus), and some inherited conditions (like Down syndrome or certain types of anemia).
Treatment for hematological cancers depends on the specific type and stage of the disease but may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation, and/or surgery. The treatment approach is often tailored to individual patients based on factors such as age, overall health, and genetic markers.
Molecular testing, such as cytogenetic analysis and next-generation sequencing, plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection for hematological cancers. It helps identify specific genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities that drive cancer growth, allowing for more precise treatment strategies, including targeted therapies.
