Abstract excerpt
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring an NPM1 mutation exhibit a heterogeneous clinical outcome. Recent studies have shown that the absence of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutation confers a favorable prognosis in NPM1-positive AML. However, the prognostic impact of immunophenotypes in this subgroup remains unclear. In this study, FLT3 mutation status and immunophenotypic profile of...
