Summary

For decades, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been playing a fundamental role in hematology. Not only in diagnostics, but also in follow-up and therapeutic decision-making, PCR impacts the treatment of patients with neoplastic diseases. In this educational, commonly used PCR methods are explained. In addition, the strengths and weaknesses of PCR in the clinical setting are illustrated.
