Clinical Relevance of Cytogenetics in Acute Leukemia

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Haematology and Blood Transfusion / Hämatologie und Bluttransfusion ((HAEMATOLOGY,volume 33))

Abstract

Cytogenetic analysis of leukemic cells has shown the presence of acquired chromosome abnormalities in more than 50% of cases. Since 1970, banding techniques have been applied progressively and a preliminary analysis of the data has been performed at the First, Second, and Fourth International Workshops on Chromosomes in Leukemia (IWCL) (1978, 1979, 1982) for Acute Non-Lymphocytic Leukemia (ANLL) and at the Third IWCL (1980) for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) [1–4].
