Body Fluids Analysis for Hematologic Malignancies

The analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other body fluids for hematologic malignancies is an essential diagnostic and monitoring tool. Hematologic malignancies are cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes, and include conditions such as leukemia and lymphoma. Sometimes these cancers can spread to other parts of the body, including the central nervous system. Analyzing the CSF and other body fluids can help in diagnosing and monitoring the spread of these malignancies.


  • Test Name CSF / Body Fluids Analysis for Hematologic Malignancies

  • Report Time 6 hours

CSF is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing protection and nutritional support. The analysis of CSF involves a lumbar puncture, where a small sample of the fluid is taken from the spinal canal. Other body fluids, such as pleural or peritoneal fluid, may also be analyzed for the presence of malignant cells.
