Why is this Test Done?
Evaluation of B-cell lymphomas and leukemias
Diagnosis and classification of hematological malignancies
Monitoring response to anti-CD20 therapies (e.g., rituximab)
Assessment of bone marrow involvement by B-cell disorders
Follow-up after treatment to detect residual disease
Benefits ✔ Accurate identification of CD20-positive B cells ✔ Supports diagnosis of blood cancers and lymphoproliferative disorders ✔ Helps guide targeted treatment decisions ✔ Useful for disease monitoring and prognosis assessment ✔ Rapid and highly sensitive analysis
When is it Recommended?
Suspected B-cell lymphoma or leukemia
Abnormal blood counts or bone marrow findings
Monitoring effectiveness of immunotherapy
