Le résumé fourni par la source

Acute myeloid leukemias classification according to the World Health Organization requires an evaluation of patient clinical history, high-level morphological expertise, immunophenotypic, molecular and cytogenetic analysis. High-throughput sequencing techniques are nowadays an indispensable tool for target-therapy, especially for the assessment of myeloid malignancies, in spite of cytomorphologic evaluation which is often neglected in the hematologic workflow. In this paper we highlight the usefulness of an accurate morphological evaluation of the blood smears in early defining the course of pathology, anticipating or suggesting, where possible, molecular analysis, in cases where the evidence of morphological features becomes decisive for diagnostic orientation, emphasizing the clinical utility of cuplike blasts morphology identification.
