MRD Detection Techniques

Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) detection techniques identify tiny amounts of cancer cells remaining after treatment, which can indicate potential relapse. Methods include advanced imaging, flow cytometry, and genetic tests like PCR and next-generation sequencing. These techniques analyze blood or bone marrow samples to find cancer cells at very low levels, providing sensitive and precise information about the disease’s status. MRD detection helps doctors evaluate treatment effectiveness, decide on further therapy, and improve long-term outcomes by catching relapses early.
