Therapy-related myeloid neoplasm is the term recently proposed by the World Health Organization to cover the spectrum of malignant disorders previously described as therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome or therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia. In this perspective article, Dr. Larson explores the important question of whether the poor prognosis of these conditions reflects t-MN per se or, rather, associated findings such as complex cytogenetics that are also seen, although less frequently, in de novo myeloid neoplasms.

治疗相关髓系肿瘤是世界卫生组织最近提出的术语,用以涵盖先前被描述为治疗相关骨髓增生异常综合征或治疗相关急性髓系白血病的一系列恶性疾病。在这篇观点文章中,拉尔森博士探讨了一个重要问题,即这些病症的不良预后是反映了治疗相关髓系肿瘤本身,还是反映了诸如复杂细胞遗传学等相关发现,这些发现也可见于原发性髓系肿瘤,只是出现频率较低。见第542页的相关文章。
