Expanding the Classification of Leukemia by the World Health Organization over Time
Journal Title: Haematology International Journal - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The classification has always been the basis for many treatments of the disease. The French-American-British has performed leukemia classification base on morphological finding, but the World Health Organization apply gene or chromosomal mutations in its classification. This approach has revolutionized the diagnosis, choose strategy of treatment and follow-up ever since. Although WHO has classified leukemia on the basis of FAB; but genetic mutations has made the wider and more specific outcome. Obviously, identifying these damages provide an extensive filed for researchers and physicians to effective assistance for patients. Therefore, the purpose of this review is comparing revisions of WHO classification in the years 2008 and 2016, because these categories are highlighted unknown cases that give researchers incentives to further study.
