Abstract
Post hoc ergo propter hoc?
We write, somewhat belatedly, to comment on the 2022 WHO Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours: Myeloid and Histiocytic/Dendritic Neoplasms [1]. This is a landmark article and global reference on this topic. However, might we take issue on the small but important section heading: Secondary myeloid neoplasms (p. 1710) and especially the sub-section: Myeloid neoplasms post cytotoxic therapy: Introduction of more precise terminology and novel associations with new cytotoxic drug classes. The text goes on to use the term: myeloid neoplasms post cytotoxic therapy (MN-pCT).
