BMT biopsies are carried out in a number of specialist and routine pathology centres and departments in the UK and overseas.
They are an essential diagnostic tool to enable pathologists to diagnose an array of haematopathological disorders.
As BMT is a specialised tissue, it is approached as such within routine laboratories, employing specialist handling. Best practice and close liaison with haematologists allows ease of reporting to ensure correct diagnosis.
