Three-color flow cytofluorometry (FCF) was used to identify minimal residual disease in 124 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated in accordance with the ALL-myeloblastic leukemia (MBL)-2002/2008 protocol and 36 patients with MBL treated under the MBL-MM-2000 protocol. It was shown that approximately a fifth of children with ALL, 3-color FCF could not monitor minimal residual disease, which required the use of 4- or more-color FCF and parallel determination in these MBL samples by molecular genetic methods. An algorithm of study of MBL by FCF, by additionally using molecular genetic methods, is presented.
