[The progress in classification and prognosis evaluation of BCR::ABL1 positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

ABSTRACT

The application of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and targeted immunotherapy has revolutionized the therapeutic strategies and clinical outcome for BCRABL1-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCRABL1(+) B-ALL). The classification was updated successively by the World Health Organization and the International Consensus Classification in 2022. The risk stratification of this entity, for the first time, was modified by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network in 2023, both minimal residual disease assessment and IKZF1(plus) genotyping recognized as critical prognostic factors. These important updates would have significant implications for clinical management. Therefore, this review focused on the latest advances in the classification and prognostic evaluation of BCRABL1(+) B-ALL.
