Rapid detection of the t(11;14) translocation in mantle cell lymphoma by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization on archival cytopathologic material
14 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cytomorphologic diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) can be difficult and requires ancillary studies for accurate subclassification. More than 95% of MCLs are known to carry the t(11;14) chromosomal translocation. However, traditional cytogenetic studies on cytologic material can be both difficult technically and time consuming. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can be a...
