I recently spent some time in hemepath and I loved it. The combination of morphology and ancillary studies like flow, molecular, IHC, iron stain - all of that stuff was so intellectual and fun.
How much of that sort of diagnostic sleuthing goes on in clinical heme/onc? I think that heme/onc works up all of the non-neoplastic heme cases more or less without hemepath input - is that right?
Did any of you feel conflicted between hemepath and heme/onc? I hadn't really considered heme/onc before, but now that I've gotten really interested in the diagnostic side of things it's made me more curious about the clinical side. Do all of the myriad of diagnostic categories and subcategories and cytogenetic studies that appear on the path report all go into the treatment plan? Or does hemepath just spin out complicated diagnoses that really have very little clinical significance?
