It is estimated that in the US, a person is diagnosed with blood cancer every three minutes.

The role of pathology is fundamental in investigating a blood cancer – a number of laboratory investigations are usually warranted to help determine the presence of a blood cancer, with particular reference to analysis of cell morphology. Analysis of peripheral blood, bone marrow and/or lymph node morphology is in fact a pivotal process in assisting a diagnosis of a suspected blood cancer.

In recognition of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we have prepared the following quiz to test your knowledge on blood cancer morphology with five case examples of different blood cancers. Special thanks and recognition to Dr. Dragan Jevremovic, a Pathologist at the Mayo Clinic, USA, for providing us with the morphology images.
