Role of Flow Cytometry in diagnosis of AML:
impact on clinical decision making
• if > 20% -blasts- by morphology:
• Flow cytometry: diagnosis/monitoring
– Immature vs mature leukemia
– Lymphoid vs myeloid AL
– B vs T-lymphoid AL
– Lymphoid differentiation: pro-B-ALL mature B-ALL
– Specific immunophenotypes: APL (t(15;17); AML t(8;21); AML/ALL with t(9;21)
– Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia
– Minimal Residual Disease
– Leukemic Stem Cells

Minimal diagnostic criteria in MDS
consensus (Vienna 2006)
• A. Prerequisite Criteria – constant cytopenia in one or more cell lineages
– exclusion of all other hematopoietic or non-hematopoietic disorders
• B. MDS-related (Decisive) Criteria – dysplasia in > 10% of all cells in one of the lineages
or > 15% ring sideroblasts (iron stain)
– 5–19% blast cells in bone marrow smears
– typical chromosomal abnormality (karyotyping or FISH)

Additional comments in final integrated report
• Flow cytometry is 1 diagnostic approach; the report should include:
– PB –penia; differential
– Cytology
– Immunohistochemistry/biopsy
– Cytogenetics/FISH
• Note: dyserythropoiesis and dysmegakaryopoiesis is not included in the flow cytometric analysis yet!
• Note: repeat analysis after 6 month in inconclusive cases and/or if disconcordance between diagnostic tools is evident
• Note: no prognostic and prediction of response information yet!

Conclusions:
Clinical significance of FCM in MDS
• FCM can be performed in MDS based on well-defined standard
criteria
• FCM is instrumental in the diagnosis or exclusion of MDS
• FCM is part of the recommended diagnostic work-up [ELN and
NCCN]
• Aberrancies on CD34+ cells and myelo-monocytic cells by FC
are correlated to clinical prognostic parameters
• FCSS identifies patients with a short OS within the IPSS-revised
low risk and good cytogenetic subgroups
• Aberrant CD34+ phenotype predicts response to Epo/G-CSF in
low risk MDS
• The time is ready to report FCM results in an integrated
diagnostic report in MDS
Perspectives of FCM in MDS: 2014
• Full Implementation in an integrated diagnostic report including
prognostic value of FCM results
• FCM should be part of the next WHO-classification
• Identification of prognostic subgroups in MDS specific disease
entities [i.e. (del)5q]
• confirmation of FCM results in (dys) erythropoiesis in 2014
• explorative studies on (dys) megakaryopoisis by FCM are ongoing
within IMDSflow WG
