Description of Medical Service

The characterisation of: rearrangements in BCL2, BC16, MYC genes for detection of cases of 'double-hit' diffuse large B cell lymphoma, which require more intensive chemotherapy in view of the more aggressive nature of the lymphoma; copy number changes or mutations for the diagnosis and classification of neoplasms or the detection of minimal residual disease of patients with plasma cell myeloma; and histological diagnosis and classification for rare subtypes of non-hodgkin lymphoma.
