Eur J Haematol. 2015 Oct;95(4):365-73. doi: 10.1111/ejh.12603. Epub 2015 Jul 26.

Abstract

The European LeukemiaNet (ELN) is composed of several work packages, four of them being directly involved in the various aspects of diagnosis. On the occasion of the annual ELN meeting of 2015 in Mannheim, these four work packages collectively examined the current situation and future prospects of cytomorphology, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, next-generation sequencing, and minimal residual disease detection in the context of leukemia diagnosis and follow-up. This document summarizes the outcome of this compendium.
