Peripheral monocytes, a key cell type for innate immunity, have been shown to be associated with survival in various types of hematological malignancies. However, no previous studies regarding the prognostic impact of peripheral absolute monocyte count (AMC) in early relapsed B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) have been reported.
