Another innovative form of laboratory analysis utilized by Cancer Treatment Centers of America to help you beat cancer is flow cytometry, which is an integral part of the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) process. Flow cytometry is used to evaluate the risk of recurrence of certain cancers, by measuring the amount of DNA in your cells. If you have breast, prostate, or bladder cancer, an abnormal amount (whether too much or too little) may indicate a recurrence. This sophisticated technique, which measures DNA in just minutes, can help predict a recurrence and enable your care team to take further preventative steps with you.
To help the experts at CTCA evaluate your condition and response to chemotherapy treatment, CD34 counts are performed on all transplant products.
