Utility of Flow Cytometry in Diagnosis of Lymphomas from Tissue Samples.

In aggressive variants, a delay in diagnosis may lead to a poorer clinical outcome.

For both approaches, we computed sensitivity, specificity, and turnaround time (turnaround time) in addition to assessing diagnostic accuracy.

Overall, the specificity was 80% and the sensitivity was 83.3%.

With a median turnaround time of roughly two days, flow cytometry results are available earlier than histopathology results, which take almost six days ( p < 0.0001).
