常見問題

Q1. Who is this test recommended for?
This test is recommended for individuals who are suspected of or have been diagnosed with B-cell–related hematologic disorders, including:

• Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia / Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL)
• Follicular Lymphoma (FL)
• Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)
• Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL)
• Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma / Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM)
• Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS)
• Multiple Myeloma
• Individuals with unexplained lymphadenopathy or elevated lymphocyte counts

It is also suitable for immune monitoring before, during, and after treatment.
Q2. Can this test diagnose cancer?
This test primarily analyzes the B-cell immunophenotype.

It can help:
• Identify abnormal B-cell populations
• Differentiate between B-cell hematologic malignancies
• Assess disease activity
• Provide diagnostic information for physicians

However, a definitive diagnosis requires correlation with:
• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Peripheral Blood Smear
• Bone Marrow Examination
• Histopathology (Biopsy)
• Genetic Testing
• Clinical Presentation

Final interpretation should be made by a hematology specialist.
Q3. What does an abnormal test result mean?
Findings such as:

• Monoclonal Kappa/Lambda light chain restriction
• Abnormal expression of CD5, CD10, or CD23
• CD20 bright or dim expression
• Abnormal CD38 expression

may indicate abnormal B-cell proliferation or the presence of a hematologic malignancy.

Test results should always be interpreted by a qualified physician together with other clinical and laboratory findings.
