Molecular Techniques in Hematopathology: A New Era in Diagnosis

Abstract

Nicolae Paulli*

Hematopathology, the study of blood diseases through microscopic examination, plays a pivotal role in diagnosing and understanding various hematological disorders, including leukemia’s, lymphomas, and myeloproliferative diseases. Traditionally, hematopathologists relied heavily on morphological features observed in blood smears, bone marrow aspirates, and lymph node biopsies, combined with clinical features and histopathological findings. However, as the complexity of hematological diseases has increased and our understanding of their molecular underpinnings has evolved, traditional diagnostic methods are no longer sufficient. The advent of molecular techniques has revolutionized hematopathology, offering more precise, accurate, and sensitive diagnostic tools that provide insight into the genetic and molecular mechanisms of these diseases.
