FAB classification system

Leukemia cell lineage

The FAB classification system begins with “M0” and runs through to “M7” as follows:

TL;DR

  • 0到5是白家,優先排除 6紅,7血小板
  • 0沒分化好,1好一點 MyeB,2 有分化,3 APL,4 AMML,5 AMonoL

Detail

  • M0 to M5 leukemias:
    • These all derive from immature white blood cells.
    • M0: undifferentiated acute myeloblastic leukemia
    • M1: acute myeloblastic leukemia with minimal maturation 1點(minimal maturation)
    • M2: acute myeloblastic leukemia with maturation (比1點多一點 = 2 = maturation)
    • M3: acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
    • M4: acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML)
    • M4 eos: acute myelomonocytic leukemia with eosinophilia (AMML w/Eos) 伊四
    • M5: acute monocytic leukemia (AMonoL)
  • M6 leukemia: AEL
    • from immature cells that would eventually become red blood cells. They are called red blood cell precursor cells.
    • M6: acute erythroid leukemia
  • M7 leukemia: A-MegaB-L (我亂取的 → )
    • from immature cells that would eventually develop into platelets.
    • M7: acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
