  • Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a type of primary immunodeficiency (PI) in which one group of the body's white blood cells, called neutrophils, fail to make the hydrogen peroxide, bleach, and other chemicals needed to fight bacterial and fungal infections. (primaryimmune.org)

  • If a lump in the breast is found, the doctor may need to cut out a small piece of the lump and look at it under the microscope to see if there are any cancer cells. (stopgettingsick.com)
  • If the biopsy shows that there is cancer, it is important that certain tests (called estrogen and progesterone receptor tests) be done on the cancer cells. (stopgettingsick.com)
  • Tissue from the tumor needs to be taken to the laboratory for estrogen and progesterone tests at the time of biopsy because it may be hard to get enough cancer cells later, although newer techniques can be used on tissue that is not fresh. (stopgettingsick.com)
  • The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is just in the breast or has spread to other places in the body), the type of breast cancer, certain characteristics of the cancer cells, and whether the cancer is found in the other breast. (stopgettingsick.com)
  • Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide out of control or order. (epnet.com)
  • Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. (epnet.com)

  • Quantitating the CD34+ cell population can also be useful during mobilization as well as for determining the optimal timing of apheresis sessions to make sure that enough CD34+ cells have been harvested. (bdbiosciences.com)
  • Stem cells are collected from your bloodstream by passing all your blood through a special machine called a cell separator (or apheresis machine). (leukaemia.org.au)
  • The apheresis machine draws blood from the body, spins the blood very quickly, collects the part that contains the blood stem cells , and returns the rest of the blood back to the body. (leukaemia.org.au)
  • The stem cells are then separated from the other blood cells by the process of apheresis, and then they are given to the patient through a catheter placed into a vein. (differencebetween.net)
  • During this time you will be more at risk of infections (due to the lack of infection-fighting white blood cells ) and bleeding (due to a lack of platelets ). (leukaemia.org.au)
