The Cytochemistry Panel is a set of laboratory tests that use special stains to differentiate various types of leukemia cells based on their chemical composition.
This test is used to classify different types of leukemia, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which helps determine the appropriate treatment plan.
A bone marrow or blood sample is stained with specific dyes (such as myeloperoxidase, Sudan Black B, and PAS) and examined under a microscope to assess cellular characteristics.
Abnormal staining patterns help differentiate between myeloid and lymphoid leukemia subtypes. For example, positive myeloperoxidase staining suggests AML, while positive PAS staining is seen in ALL.
If leukemia is diagnosed, further genetic testing, immunophenotyping, and imaging may be needed to determine the best treatment approach, which may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or stem cell transplantation.
