Immunophenotyping of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Sudanese Children’s versus Egyptian children’s using Flowcyometery
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) develops rapidly, creating immature white blood cells (WBCs) called lymphoblasts. This type of hematological malignancy is cancer involving blood and bone marrow (BM). It can affect both B and T cell lineage. Here we studied T & B markers in 100 Sudanese ALL patients attending the Radiation & Isotopes Center Khartoum versus 180 Egyptian ALL patients attending the Alksr Aani, oncology center, Cairo between October 2009 and August 2014. The study aimed to detect the frequency of B and T lineages subclass in ALL among the Sudanese versus Egyptian population in correlation with their clinical symptoms, hematological parameters, gender and, age.
