First sentence: Research over the last two decades has demonstrated that acute leukemias, originally subdivided by morphologic and cytochemical criteria into myeloid and lymphoblastic varieties, represent highly heterogeneous groups of malignancies that for the most appropriate tailoring of therapy, require an extensive routine diagnostic workup, including immunophenotyping as well as cytogenetic and molecular genetic study.
