My new bi-specific treatment targets CD20 and CD3 which are proteins on the B cells. As I understand it they are the abnormal indicators which means cancerous. I am not a doctor nor have any medical training.

You guys are correct. Flow cytometry is used to detect cancer, abnormal cells, and the type of cells, percentages and so forth.

I believe the numbers identify the type of cell. I only know the cytemmetry is more indepth explanation of what type of cancer you have. But thats just my simple understanding.
