Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

Sezary panel is ordered in cases with previously diagnosed Sezary syndrome or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) with peripheral blood involvement. For cases without a previously confirmed diagnosis or previously performed immunophenotyping at our laboratory, the ordered test will be changed to SZDIA / Sezary Diagnostic Flow Cytometry, Blood, which includes a triage panel to exclude a B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder and a Sezary panel. If there is a significant phenotypically distinct T-cell population detected, a V-beta panel for proof of clonality may be ordered by the signing pathologist.

 

The panel is charged based on number of markers tested (FIRST for first marker, ADD1 for each additional marker). In addition, reflex testing may occur to fully characterize a disease state or clarify any abnormalities from the screening test. Reflex tests will be performed at an additional charge for each marker tested (ADD1 if applicable).
