Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flow cytometry is a key component of the diagnosis, classification, and monitoring of hematologic malignancies. With the rapid development of new and innovative technology, the role of flow cytometry in hematologic oncology diagnosis and management continues to expand and strengthen.
This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted applications of flow cytometry in the realm of hematologic cancers, including lymphoma, leukemia, histiocytic neoplasms, and plasma cell neoplasms. We are pleased to invite you to submit works that highlight innovative methodologies, clinical applications, and the integration of flow cytometry with other diagnostic modalities.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: advances in clinical flow cytometry in the diagnosis of hematologic neoplasms, the role of flow cytometry in minimal residual disease detection, and the impact of flow cytometry on treatment decisions and patient outcomes. Furthermore, we welcome submissions that discuss the challenges and limitations of flow cytometry in clinical practice, as well as future directions for research and technology development. We encourage authors to share their results in as much detail as possible so that the results can be reproduced.
We believe that this Special Issue will serve as a valuable, comprehensive overview of the current state and future potential of flow cytometry and will foster collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and laboratory professionals to advance the field of hematology-oncology.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
