11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern
Location: This is a live virtual event
Join the Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) as we welcome Dr. Stephen Stalls for a webinar about where flow cytometry meets genetics in hematologic malignancies. Flow cytometry is a crucial diagnostic tool in the field of hematopathology, allowing elucidation of the immunophenotypic profile of lymphoma/leukemia entities, particularly acute leukemia. One of its strengths is relatively rapid turnaround time (TAT), on the order of hours, providing quick diagnostic information, especially for time-sensitive diagnoses such as new acute leukemias and aggressive lymphomas.
In this webinar, Dr. Stalls will first review the principles of flow cytometry and the appearance of normal peripheral blood/bone marrow flow specimens, then review a few cases of commonly seen diagnoses in hematopathology practice, incorporating genetic findings into these cases.
Speaker: Stephen Stalls, MD
Learning Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Discuss principles of flow cytometry
- Identify characteristics of normal populations within blood and bone marrow on flow cytometry
- Analyze flow cytometry cases of a few common diagnoses in hematopathology practice
