Article Synopsis
- This text talks about how important it is to measure plasma cells in bone marrow for diagnosing certain blood cancers.
- It mentions different methods used to count these cells, like special staining and imaging techniques, and how some methods are better than others.
- The study highlights that using a mix of different techniques can help create a more accurate diagnosis, and discusses the future role of digital tools in helping doctors.
Introduction: The diagnosis of plasma cell neoplasms depends on the accurate quantification of plasma cells, traditionally done by immunohistochemical CD138 staining of bone marrow biopsies. Currently, there is no fully satisfactory reference method for this quantification. In our previous study, we compared the commonly used overview estimation method (method A) with a novel method for counting plasma cells in three representative areas (method B).
