Review

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Sabina Chiaretti et al. Haematologica. 2009 Feb.

Abstract

The T-cell variant accounts for about 15 to 25% of acute lymphoblastic leukemias in children and adults. In this perspective article. Drs. Chiaretti and Foà examine our present understanding of this disorder. See related article on page 224.
