Abstract:Central nervous system leukemia (CNSL) remains a serious complication in patients with AML and an ambiguous prognostic factor for those receiving allo-HSCT. Thus, we aimed to retrospectively analyse the clinical outcomes of 1472 AML patients with or without CNS abnormalities before transplantation. Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was detected via conventional cytology (CC) and MFC in 44 patients (CNS+) at any time after diagnosis. A control group of 175 CSF-normal (CNS-) patients was generated via propensi… Show more
