Flow Cytometry of Hematological Malignancies

Dear Colleagues,

Flow cytometry (FC) is a primary tool for establishing immunophenotypes of cell populations to identify and characterize hematolymphoid disorders. Its analytic approach is evolving to facilitate efficient and accurate analysis in a world with ever-changing challenges and opportunities created by novel therapeutic approaches and technological advancements.

In this Special Issue, we will present current FC diagnostic approaches to various hematologic malignancies (including lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoma, plasma cell neoplasm, and acute myeloid leukemia) and strategies used in minimal/measurable residual disease analysis and post-immunotherapy settings [including chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy (CAR-T) and bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) monoclonal antibodies]. Lastly, future directions of the field will be examined, including the incorporation of spectral flow cytometry into clinical practice and the increased use of machine learning for flow cytometry analysis.
