Diagnosis and baseline testing
Leukemia evaluation includes full blood count, peripheral smear, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, FISH and molecular testing. Baseline organ function, infection screening and fertility discussion are part of planning. The results define the subtype, risk and immediate treatment needs.

Treatment and monitoring
Treatment may include induction chemotherapy, consolidation, maintenance, targeted therapy or transplant. Response is assessed by morphology, flow cytometry and molecular methods. Measurable residual disease testing can refine the depth of response and inform whether treatment should change.
- Subtype-specific induction and consolidation
- Targeted therapy guided by genetic findings
- MRD monitoring to assess depth of response
- Transplant assessment for high-risk disease
- Supportive care throughout treatment
