A member asked:

How long does it take to get results from a bone marrow biopsy?

Dr. Michael Dugan answered

Specializes in Hematology

Typically: 2 to 3 working days. A rapid preliminary result can be available in hours with a concern for acute leukemia. If a reference lab is used it can take 7-10 days.
