By keeping a cytomorphological basis for the diagnosis of leukemia according to the FAB classification, a new classification system was proposed by the WHO group, which incorporated four genetically established entities of acute leukemia. This classification also made some changes in MDS categories and provided new criteria for diagnosing acute myeloid leukemia. Combined use of this classification with the FAB classification will promote investigations into leukemia.
