BloodGuiding the Global Evolution of Cytogenetic Testing for Hematologic Malignancies

This international consortium of oncologists and researcher describe the advantages and limitations of both conventional chromosome banding and novel sequencing technologies. They state, “While one single test may not replace the totality of tests that currently exist, the active exploration and adoption of novel approaches in defined clinical settings may indeed allow for a continued and controlled evolution resulting in the successful clinical implementation of whole genome sequencing in the near future.”
