Classification and Subclassification of Acute Leukemias Correlated with Clinical Expression, Therapeutic Sensitivity and Prognosis

  • Chapter
Nomenclature, Methodology and Results of Clinical Trials in Acute Leukemias

Abstract

Hemopoietic and lymphoid cell physiology has been progressing very rapidly, particularly since the results of the first bone marrow transplantation experiments (see [7]), thymectomy experiments [12], and bone marrow [1, 15, 16] and lymphocyte in vitro culture [13] became available. However, morphology has not kept pace with these other disciplines and has not shown any significant progress recently. Since MCCULLOGH, one of the greatest living hematologists, has declared: “Hematology must do without the microscope”, one is reluctant to propose a new morphological classification or subclassification of a “well-established” group of diseases.
