Blood Work Basics: Making Sense of Your Test Results
Webinar on Tuesday, May 27th | 3pm PDT/6pm EDT
What does your cancer blood test results really mean — and how do they help doctors detect or monitor cancer?
Join hematopathologist Dr. Kamran Mirza and cancer advocate Stephanie Chuang to break down the most common diagnostic cancer blood tests, including the CBC. Learn how pathologists interpret results, what those ranges mean, and how small changes in your numbers can offer big insights into your health.
Key Topics:
- Why doctors order cancer blood tests: What they’re looking for and how to prepare.
- Making sense of the CBC: Understand what each number represents — and what it doesn’t.
- How blood results guide treatment: From diagnosis to tracking remission or recurrence.
- Should I be worried?: When out-of-range numbers matter and when they don’t.
