Abstract:

Flow cytometry (FCM) has been one of the important methods for detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with acute leukemia. However, there are a number of questions on MRD evaluation by FCM in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Here, the challenges and tactics are discussed on  FCM assessment of AML MRD.

Key words: leukemia, myeloid, acute; , minimal residual disease, flow cytometry
