Integrated use of morphology, cytochemistry, and immune marker analysis to identify acute leukaemia subtypes.
One hundred and thirty-three acute leukaemia cases were evaluated by using a simplified sequence of morphological, cytochemical, and immunological investigations in order to obtain a correct leukaemia characterization that could have clinical relevance, rather than look for FAB-immunophenotype correlates. This approach offered an effective support to immediate therapeutic decisions and further investigations.
