Featured Abstract
The Prognostic Value of Multiparametric Flow Cytometry in AL Amyloidosis at Diagnosis and at the End of First-Line Treatment
Multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) in AL amyloidosis has not been widely adopted and consequently there is little information on its clinical relevance. Mayo Clinic researchers studied 173 AL amyloidosis patients who underwent MFC immunophenotyping of bone marrow sample at diagnosis and 82 patients at the end of the first line of treatment (EOT). Based on the study results, researchers found that MFC is prognostic for AL amyloidosis at diagnosis and at the end of treatment. MFC may also have a role in the definition of hematological response. The study was published in Blood.
