A member asked:
Does the presence of bright cd8 t-cells on bone marrow biopsy indicate cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Presence of cancer cells is only indication of cancer no other cells., to call it a cancer you have to see cancer cells nothing else . Cd-8 t cells are seen in viral infections also . These cells are some times seen surrounding the tumor or inside the tumor which is a good prognostic sign presence of immunity , body is fighting the cancer.
