I have a patient with likely lymphoma/leukemia. For a blood sample, can I just submit an EDTA blood tube or do I still use the ImpriMed tubes (and if so, how many tubes and is an additional EDTA blood tube still needed with that)?

If the patient is suspected of leukemia, blood collected in the EDTA tube should be fine. If it is lymphoma, we might need FNA from the affected organ/lymph node. We can suggest FNA in ImpriMed media tube (1) and 2ml of blood sample in an EDTA tube.

What does flow cytometry tell me about my patient’s specimen?

ImpriMed’s flow cytometry report provides comprehensive information about the specimen’s immunophenotype. B-cell and T-cell immunophenotypes are useful in determining lymphoma/leukemia subtype and prognosis. In addition, our panel of ten antigens can also be used in the diagnosis of T-zonal lymphoma, acute leukemia, and other diseases. Antigens levels reported are: CD21, CD79a, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD5, CD45, CD34, CD14, and MHC class II. For more information, see: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26953614/

How can I help to advance precision medicine?

Can we select non-MDR substrate drugs for known or suspected MDR dogs?

Yes, you can select non-MDR1 drugs when indicating your drug priorities, but the final report will also include all drugs.

Is this test available outside the US? Could I order the test?

Because we require live, fresh, cancer cells within 24-48 hours of doing a fine needle aspiration, we are ONLY offering our services in North America at this time. If you already had an experience of sending biopsy samples to the US in 24-48 hours, we could discuss the work further. Please contact info@imprimedicine.com.
