Abstract:
The diagnosis and monitoring of acute leukemia requires a multiparameter approach. Although the foundation of diagnosis continues to depend on morphologic and cytochemical determinations, the importance of immunologic, cytogenetic, and molecular classifications is beginning to be emphasized and addressed worldwide. In addition to aiding in the diagnosis of acute leukemia, the information gained by these studies increases the understanding of the pathobiology of these neoplasms.
