According to him, a PCR test does not = a Marrow Biopsy. According to him, the last thinking is that an actual biopsy is needed no more than one time per year, and thats for molecular response measurements. The CBC is used to determine a CHR, and nothing more of course...but an extended test of blood with FiSH can measure the % of bcr/abl present...again, this according to my Onc. who is a CML specialist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402247635006701650.post-85926433498418383712014-04-30T09:22:53.802-07:002014-04-30T09:22:53.802-07:00Oh the question I'm researching is average num...Oh the question I'm researching is average number of bone marrow biopsies per year. They have scheduled my second and I'm questioning it. Not only is the week window my oncologist gave not a good week but seems too soon, unless 2 or 3 biopsies a year will be the norm.

I joined another site but they don't seem to have the information or have it as easily accessible as you do. I have tried some links you posted, some were good and some I couldn't access. Guess I should start bookmarking some of your more informative posts to find the info more quickly. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
