question: Are you speaking of a complete hematopathologist's report with
morphology and markers or are you speaking of the markers alone? We get our
marker numbers to the hematopathologist in the time frame you mentioned, but it
often takes an additional week to get a full written report. The
hematopathologist does call the clinician within 24 hrs in urgent cases and 48
hrs in non-urgent ones.
