Abstract
In addition to all the biological properties and clinical features of individual patients with acute leukemia, the quality of therapy itself has evolved as the most relevant predictive factor for cure or failure. Leukemia is still a life-threatening condition and needs adequate management, irrespective of the phenotypic or genotypic characterization of the leukemic clone.
