Haematological Neoplasms

Overview:

GenQA has extensive experience in providing haematological neoplasm EQAs for the past 20 years.  These EQAs cover the common chronic and acute disorders including ALL, AML, CML, CLL, MDS, MPD, myeloma and lymphoma. To meet the needs of our participants, a range of sample types (online images, fixed cells, FFPE slides and DNA) and techniques (karyotyping, FISH, array/NGS and DNA mutation status) are included.  In addition, participants can expect a broad range of referral types and abnormailties to analyse and report reflecting routine clinical practice.

 

We work closely with our colleagues in UK NEQAS Leucocyte Immunophenotyping (UK NEQAS LI) to deliver EQAs where the expert knowledge from both GenQA and UK NEQAS LI is beneficial to the delivery of the assessments.

 

Summary Information:

Assess the quality of testing and reporting of a broad range of haematological neoplasms, using various sample types and/or online case scenarios.

  • EQAs delivered in accordance with the international standard ISO 17043 for proficiency testing providers.
  • Based on real clinical cases, using validated samples.
  • Various sample types provided and any suitable techniques used.
  • 6 weeks to submit the results.
  • Submitted laboratory reports are assessed, by an expert scientific panel, using international guidelines/recommendations.
  • Each participant receives an Individual Laboratory report (ILR) and EQA summary report detailing general findings, a summary of methodologies used, common errors and benchmarking against other laboratories worldwide.
