Bone Marrow and The Leukon Flashcards

1
Q

What are the ways of classifying acute myeloid leukaemias?

A

M0 = undifferentiated
M1/M2 = acute myeloblastic (+/- maturation)
M3 = acute promyelocytic
M4 = acute myelomonocytic
M5 = acute monoblastic/ monocytic
M6 = Erythemic myelosis or erythroleukaemia
M7 = acute megakaryoblastic/-cytic
