Features of Therapy-Related Leukemia and their Comparison with Leukemia de Novo and with the Blast Phase of Chronic Granulocytic Leukemia

  • Chapter
Human Leukemias

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology Series ((DION,volume 14))

  • 42 Accesses

Abstract

Previous chapters have detailed the findings in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) de novo and in the blast phase of chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL-BP). In this chapter we will discuss the morphologic, ultrastructural, and cytochemical characteristics of therapy-related or secondary myelodysplastic syndromes (2°-MDS) and ANLL (2°-ANLL), and we will compare these features with those of ANLL de novo and CGL-BP.
