A member asked:
How much time does it take to get blood test results if leukemia is suspected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sometimes very quickly because you can see the abnormal cells on a slide under the microscope from a simple blood draw. Sometimes it requires a bone marrow biopsy. But even if that is done, once the slide a stained, the pathologist can look right away. Hope this helps.
