Pay attention to the difficulties of immunophenotyping of acute leukemia by flow cytometry and the countermeasures / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Flow cytometric immunophenotyping of leukemia has been used as the main method of acute leukemia diagnosis and classification. The revised Classification of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue Tumors in 2016 improved the diagnostic method for acute leukemia assessment. In China, at present there are still difficulties in the large-scale application and the standardization of this new flow cytometric immunophenotyping of acute leukemia in daily work. A thorough analysis and solution is demanded.
