Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hematologic diagnostics underwent a rapid expansion in recent years, mainly due to the introduction of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and improved minimal residual disease (MRD) strategies. At the same time, with the expansion of therapeutic options for hematologic malignancies by kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, as well as novel immunotherapeutic approaches by CAR-T cells and bispecific antibodies, individualized treatment strategies become increasingly available for patients both at diagnosis or at relapse with myeloid or lymphoproliferative malignancies. This specific issue illustrates the current landscape of diagnostic options for patients with hemato-oncologic malignancies at first manifestation and at follow-up, and it provides insights into the interaction of these emerging diagnostic possibilities together with established and novel therapeutic options. Future perspectives for further optimizing this interplay between diagnostics and therapeutic options are discussed.
