Hematopathology

Overview
The LMC hematopathology service offers comprehensive, state of the art diagnostic evaluation for a wide range of benign and neoplastic hematologic disorders in adults and children. All types of diagnostic hematologic material including bone marrow, peripheral blood, body fluids and tissues are evaluated by board-certified hematopathologists.

The LMC hematopathology service is staffed by board-certified hematopathologists. The hematopathology service reviews a breadth of hematologic malignancies and cooperates with ongoing clinical trials (SWOG, COG, U.S. Oncology Group) and research investigations involving lymphomas/leukemias. LMC hematopathologists have maintained academic interests by publishing journal articles and reference text chapters as well as serving on the editorial boards of peer-reviewed publications.

Emphasis is placed on cost-effective diagnostic assessment with appropriate utilization of specialized testing including immunohistochemistry, 4-color flow cytometry, cytogenetics, FISH and molecular diagnostic studies. These specialized tests are integrated with the clinical and morphologic assessment in the final diagnostic interpretation.

LMC hematopathologists strive to maintain a close relationship with hematologists and oncologists, and most cases are discussed promptly with the clinician by the LMC hematopathologist responsible for the case. Our hematopathologists remain committed to providing exemplary care for patients with hematologic disorders in Nevada and the surrounding region.
