Immunophenotyping by multiparameter flow cytometry is a rapid and efficient technique to simultaneously assess and correlate multiple individual cell properties like size and internal complexity along with antigen expression in a population of cells. This method is utilized for rapid characterization of the blasts and classification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in both the peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM). This technique is not only useful in the initial diagnosis but also in monitoring and determining prognosis of the disease through minimal residual disease (MRD) testing. This chapter provides an overview of procedures for specimen processing, staining, and immunophenotyping of AML and describes the principles of data analysis for AML classification and MRD testing.

Background: Bilirubin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties, with an inverse relationship between its levels and cancer risk and prognosis. However, the prognostic value of serum bilirubin in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains uncertain.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed pretreatment serum total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) in 284 AML patients and 316 healthy controls.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is marked by the proliferation of abnormal myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow and blood, leading to low cure rates despite new drug approvals from 2017 to 2018. Current therapies often fail due to the emergence of drug resistance mechanisms, such as those involving anti-apoptotic pathways and immune evasion, highlighting an urgent need for novel approaches to overcome these limitations. Programmed cell death (PCD) is crucial for tissue homeostasis, with PANoptosis-a form of PCD integrating pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis-recently identified.

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare haematological cancer with poor 5-years overall survival (OS) and high relapse rate. Leukemic cells are sensitive to Natural Killer (NK) cell mediated killing. However, NK cells are highly impaired in AML, which promote AML immune escape from NK cell immune surveillance.

Background: This study aims to identify the hub genes and immune-related pathways in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to provide new theories for immunotherapy.
Methods: We use bioinformatics methods to find and verify the hub gene. At the same time, we use the results of GSEA enrichment analysis to find immune-related mediators.
