Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 PCR may also be done from BMB & BMA. From what I understand the value is even more significant when done by BMB/ BMA versus by blood ( which I also have done every 90days by PB) ez dx 5-2000 Gleevec 6-1001 PCRU 8-2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that FISH is more accurate from bmb/bma....and he will not even do it from peripheral blood. But, he prefers to do PCR from peripheral blood because he can have a larger quantity to run the test. OHSU draws 4 vials for this test (they used to draw only 2). C.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yes, my oncologist also feels that a BMB PCR is more accurate than a peripheal blood PCR. I can tell you that I had one done within 2 weeks of each other last year and the numbers were very different. Matt In a message dated 11/17/2006 7:35:59 P.M.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks for the update - the information I have may very well be old as I have not been staying on top of the latest and greatest of everything. I have however remained PCRU for 5 years now! </message/3984;_ylc=X3oDMTJybDVzYmEwBF9TAz k3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzE0NzYyODAxBGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MTYyOARtc2dJZAMzOTg0BHNlYw NkbXNnBHNsawN2bXNnBHN0aW1lAzExNjM4NjI4NzA-> Re: pcr Posted by: " Cogan " <mailto:ncogan@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20pcr> ncogan@... <hey00nanc> hey00nanc Fri Nov 17, 2006 4:34 pm (PST) At 01:06 PM 11/17/06 -0500, you wrote: > From what I understand the value is even more significant when done by BMB/ >BMA versus by blood ( which I also have done every 90days by PB) Hi , Actually per Dr. Druker this is not true.
