Flow Cytometry Rapidly Identifies All Acute Promyelocytic Leukemias With High Specificity Independent of Underlying Cytogenetic Abnormalities
20 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a highly aggressive disease requiring prompt diagnosis and specific early intervention. Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry (FCM) facilitates a rapid diagnosis, but commonly used criteria are neither sufficiently sensitive nor specific.
