Advances in diagnostic classification of erythroid proliferations in myeloid neoplasms / 白血病·淋巴瘤

ABSTRACT

Erythroid proliferations in myeloid neoplasms (MN-EP) is a group of heterogeneous diseases characterized by nucleated red blood cell proliferation and ineffective hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. Initial French-American-British (FAB) classification was used to diagnose and classify MN-EP according to morphological criteria. However, with the development of flow cytometry, cytogenetics and molecular biology techniques, FAB classification is obviously insufficient, which can not meet the clinical needs. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) classification has introduced more accurate diagnostic classification standards and revised them several times. This paper reviews the research progress of MN-EP diagnostic classification.
