A member asked:
Expert opinion - should lymphoma (both types-hodgkins and non hodgkins) show in a blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usual: For lymphoma, a disease of nodes, to have diagnostic cells or abnormalities on blood tests. This question is asked a lot on the site, and I do not know from what source the false belief comes from. One needs a biopsy of a node or the site of lymphoma, blood work for other reasons.
