A member asked:
Is core needle biopsy enough to rule out lymphoma with insufficient sample for flow cytometry but no cancer observed on microscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: A small sample is subject to error. If lymphoma is a serious consideration, removal, of a node should be considered.
