ACUTE MEGACARYOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA IN CHILDREN: DIAGNOSTICS AND MRD MONITORING
Objective: Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) associated with poor prognosis for all patients except children with t(1;22) or Down syndrome. The frequency of complete remission in case of AMKL is comparable to the frequency of it in other variant...
