A member asked:
Can blast cells be seen on normal cbc? if not, how are they found?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Terminology: If blast cells are present it is no longer a normal cbc. Blasts can be seen on smear of peripheral blood as well as smear of bone marrow. Flow cytometry is an other way to find blast cells.
