Workup
Analysis of genetic abnormalities : Erythroblastoma is thought to be genetic in nature; a physician may do a genetic workup on a patient to determine if their condition meets this criteria. [knowcancer.com]
In addition, we investigated the diagnostic utility of the adhesion marker, E-cadherin, in the workup of cases of PEL. [nature.com]
Immunohistochemistry has a role in the workup of cases of AEL, particularly in cases in which the aspirate material is scant. Here we mention markers or applications not already addressed in the flow cytometry section above. [archivesofpathology.org]

Treatment
Treatment Treatment for acute erythroblastic leukemia depends on the features of the cancer cells present and on the extent of the disease, as well as on the age of the patient, his symptoms, and general health condition. [encyclopedia.com]
Treatment The treatment for this type of leukemia would largely depend of the cancer cell features presented as well as the extent or severity of the disease, the patient's age, symptoms along with general health condition. [medigest.uk]
No significant difference was seen among the groups in age, sex, or treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Problems encountered in the treatment of acute erythroleukemia include primary induction failure, relapse, and the toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. [emedicine.com]
Prognosis
Multidrug resistant phenotype (positive Pgp expression) is associated with a poor prognosis. Determining the myeloblast-to-erythroblast ratio at diagnosis helps to predict prognosis; a higher ratio is associated with a favorable prognosis. [emedicine.com]
Although der(1;7) has been reported as a cytogenetic factor for poor prognosis in t-MDS/AML, our patient showed a good response to chemotherapy and obtained complete remission, although longer observation is required to evaluate the prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
The etiology has been related to the use of anabolic steroids in cases with malignant tumors and cronic diseases. Only fifty cases have been reported in the world literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]
The etiology of erythroleukemia remains elusive, but the likelihood that it develops secondary to chemotherapeutic treatment or exposure to mutagenic agents is significant. [academic.oup.com]
Etiology Genetic and chromosomal aberrations, such as are found in other leukemias, are characteristic. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
