FLT3 Mutations at Diagnosis and Relapse in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Cytogenetic and Pathologic Correlations, Including Cuplike Blast Morphology
1 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Context. —Acquired mutations in the fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene ( FLT3 ) adversely impact relapse risk after chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The FLT3 mutation status may differ at diagnosis and relapse, suggesting a potential role in chemoresistance, yet few reports have addressed the cytogenetic and pathologic correlates of FLT3 mutations in relapsed AML. Objectives. —To...
