Abstract

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is designated M3 in the French-American-British (FAB) classification. Because of its unique clinical features and unique response to certain differentiation inducing agents, and because of our advanced understanding of the molecular biology of this leukemia, APL deserves to be presented and discussed in detail, apart from the other acute myeloid leukemias.
