A CBC, also known as a full blood count (FBC), is usually the first test requested by physicians to assess general patient health. The CBC can be used to detect a wide range of pathological states including anemia, infection and hematological malignancy, as bbbbn b g well as for the monitoring of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
