Cancer diagnostics often begin with a biopsy and histopathologic examination, from the basis of physical examination and medical history. Sometimes the first indication is an abnormal laboratory test result (eg, anemia resulting from colon cancer).
Recent advances in flow and mass cytometry have greatly expanded the number of immune cell parameters that can be interrogated, resulting in an improved understanding of the immune system het...
