What Types of Samples Can Be Used for Immunophenotyping?
Immunophenotyping can be performed on various types of samples, including peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirates, lymph node biopsies, and solid tumor tissues. The choice of sample depends on the suspected type of cancer and the location of the tumor. For hematologic cancers, blood and bone marrow samples are most commonly used. For solid tumors, biopsies or fine-needle aspirates are preferred.
