Hello,
I'm new to these forums, nice to be here. A couple of hematology questions:
1) (R)CVP vs (R)CHOP? I read that both are given for NHL. Please tell me in short, practical terms when is one used and when the other.
2) PAD vs TAD chemoterapy?
I have read that both are used in multple myeloma. Please tell me in a short, practical way when one is used and when the other.
3) Multiple myeloma vs plasmacytoma vs Waldenstrom? I tend to mix up these. Please help me
4) Electrophoresis interpretation? As I understand that it shows albumin level, if gama globulin is high it can be a from plasmacytoma (or MM?), and alpha 1, alpha2, beta 1, beta 2 are for inflammation/tumors (no?). Am I getting this right? What is the difference between a1, a2, b1, b2? What practical knowledge do I need to interpret electrophoresis quickly and precisely?
5) Immunofluorescence interpretation? I see it is sometimes ordered after elecrophoresis @ hematology ward. I am learning, but unfortunately I am afraid to ask senior docs (they bite or smt). So when do I order this test? How to quickly and precisely interpret it's results in everyday practice? Please give short and practical answers.
Best wishes
