Characterization of morphological and immunophenotypic heterogeneity in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and development of a peripheral blood tumor load-based prognostic index.
We evaluated morphologic and immunophenotypic features of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) using morphology and flow cytometry (FCM), compared tumor cell proportions in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB), and assessed whether these parameters could improve prognostication beyond existing indices for aggres...
