Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a disseminated malignancy of B- or T-lymphoblasts which imposes a rapid and accurate diagnostic process to support an optimal risk-oriented therapy and thus increase the curability rate. The need for a precise diagnostic algorithm is underlined by the awareness that both ALL therapy and related success rates may vary greatly between ALL subsets, from standard chemotherapy in patients with standard-risk ALL, to allotransplantation (SCT) and targeted therapy in high-risk patients and cases expressing suitable biological targets, respectively. This review summarizes how best to identify ALL and the most relevant ALL subsets.
急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)是B淋巴细胞或T淋巴细胞的一种播散性恶性肿瘤,它需要快速准确的诊断过程来支持以风险为导向的最佳治疗,从而提高治愈率。由于认识到ALL治疗及其相关成功率在ALL不同亚组之间可能有很大差异,从标准风险ALL患者的标准化疗,到高危患者以及表达合适生物学靶点的病例分别进行同种异体移植(SCT)和靶向治疗,因此对精确诊断算法的需求凸显出来。本综述总结了如何最好地识别ALL以及最相关的ALL亚组。
