Unclassifiable Leukemias Proceedings of a Symposium, held on October 11 - 13, 1974 at the Institute of Cell Pathology, Hopital de Bicetre, Paris, France. / edited by M. Bessis, G. Brecher.

Jean BERNARD * I should like to begin with an assumption and a paradox. The assumption is that leukemia is a disease of a stem cell characterized by pathologie alterations of that cell and its progeny. All present research and discussions are centered around the leukemic cell. So is this symposium,...
