A member asked:
When looking at a blood smear of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, how do we explain what we're seeing and what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When looking at a blood smear under the microscope, the doctor is able to identify the abnormal cells. There would be cells called blast cells for this diagnosis and these cells can be identified as well as quantified-how much of the cells are these abnormal cells? Luckily, ALL is very treatable. Best of luck to you!
