Up to 60% of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer will relapse despite potentially curative local treatment. Current staging tests have been limited in adequately identifying individual patients who are at a high risk for future relapse. Detection of bone marrow micrometastases may ide

Preclinical drug trials frequently require the evaluation of animal bone marrow, a time-consuming process requiring the skills of a highly trained hematologist. In the present study, a flow cytometric technique was developed that could effectively replace the need for manual bone marrow differential
## Background: Several sensitive surveillance tests reportedly have been used to detect occult neuroblastoma (nb) cells in peripheral blood (pb) and bone marrow (bm). they may be useful in monitoring minimal residual tumor cells. the authors report the feasibility and clinical usefulness of a sensi
## Abstract Flow cytometry studies of surface markers of neutrophils have been performed mostly on peripheral blood, and for a limited spectrum of diseases. Studying maturation defects on developing neutrophils in the bone marrow (BM) may be helpful in BM diseases, such as myelodysplastic syndromes
