A marrow tap is a procedure in which a doctor removes bone marrow from a patient's spinal cord. This is done to identify various diseases and conditions associated with hematopoiesis. There are many reasons why a bone marrow tap may be needed, but the most common are multiple myeloma, B-cell macroglobulinemia (B-cell macroglobulinemia), leukemia, and other tumors. The procedure can be performed by an oncologist or a doctor in the hematology department. It is important to choose an experienced medical specialist who can carefully examine the patient and select the appropriate treatment according to the stage of the disease.
