Clinical Significance of Isolated Myeloperoxidase Expression in Pediatric B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first report to document the clinical outcomes in a group of pediatric patients with B-ALL that expresses MPO in the absence of other myeloid markers. This group had an increased rate of relapse and a worse event-free survival than the patients with B-ALL who did not express MPO.
