A member asked:
When you are tested for lymphoma are you tested for leukemia at the same time?

Yes: Part of the evaluation for lymphoma is a blood count. This is the best screening test for leukemia. Frequently, a bone marrow examination is also performed in the testing for lymphoma. The bone marrow test would also evaluate for the possibility of leukemia.

Not usually: Depending on the circumstance we sometimes test for both, however we typically do not test for both at the same time in the same patient.
