Diagnosis and treatment of mixed phenotype (T-myeloid/lymphoid) acute leukemia with novel ETV6-FGFR2 rearrangement

Blood Adv. 2020 Oct 13;4(19):4924-4928. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2019001282.

Abstract

  1. Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia are driven by aberrant tyrosine kinases in pluripotent cells and display variable phenotypes.

  2. FGFR-driven hematolymphoid neoplasms are targetable by TKI inhibitors such as ponatinib; studies of specific FGFR inhibitors are ongoing.
