Detection of Chromosome Abnormalities Pre–High-Dose Treatment in Patients Developing Therapy-Related Myelodysplasia and Secondary Acute Myelogenous Leukemia After Treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To assess whether pre-high-dose therapy (HDT)-related factors play a critical role in the development of therapy-related myelodysplasia (tMDS) or secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (sAML).
