If, on the other hand, one believes that an understanding of the cell types involved in leukemic change is a prerequisite to the progressive clarification of the problem in its entirety, then detailed cytologic analysis becomes a potentially profitable undertaking.The purpose of this communication is to present...Bibliography1.
