The importance of bone marrow biopsy in haematology lies in the fact that it puts relatively little stress on the patient and can reliably diagnose numerous blood diseases involving the bone marrow. It also provides information on the state of the bone marrow after treatment, and is essential for restaging in cases of lympho-proliferative diseases. A total of 116 personally conducted bone marrow biopsies proved to be a basic test for certain pathologies (medullary hypoplasia, myelofibrosis, N. H. lymphomas); while for others (leukaemia, plasmocytoma, polycythaemia), it was revealed to be a valuable back-up to clinical examination and other diagnostic procedures.
骨髓活检在血液学中的重要性在于，它给患者带来的压力相对较小，并且能够可靠地诊断多种累及骨髓的血液疾病。它还能提供治疗后骨髓状态的信息，对于淋巴增殖性疾病的再分期至关重要。总共116例亲自操作的骨髓活检被证明是某些病理情况（骨髓发育不全、骨髓纤维化、非霍奇金淋巴瘤）的基本检测方法；而对于其他疾病（白血病、浆细胞瘤、红细胞增多症），它被证明是临床检查和其他诊断程序的有价值的辅助手段。
