Rapidly changing field of genetic technology and its application in the management of hematological malignancies has brought significant improvement in treatment and outcome of these disorders. Today, genetics plays pivotal role in diagnosis and prognostication of most hematologic neoplasms. The utilization of genetic tests in deciding specific treatment of various hematologic malignancies as well as for evaluation of depth of treatment response is rapidly advancing. Therefore, it is imperative for practitioners working in the field of hemato-oncology to have sufficient understanding of the basic concepts of genetics in order to comprehend upcoming molecular research in this area and to translate the same for patient care.
基因技术领域的快速发展及其在血液系统恶性肿瘤管理中的应用,给这些疾病的治疗和预后带来了显著改善。如今,遗传学在大多数血液肿瘤的诊断和预后判断中起着关键作用。基因检测在确定各种血液系统恶性肿瘤的具体治疗方案以及评估治疗反应深度方面的应用正在迅速推进。因此,血液肿瘤学领域的从业者必须充分了解遗传学的基本概念,以便理解该领域即将开展的分子研究,并将其转化应用于患者护理。
