On-demand webinar: Next-generation sequencing: an emerging technique for measurable residual disease (MRD) detection in acute myeloid leukemia
Measurable residual disease (MRD) refers to the presence of malignant cells following treatment and is considered a strong predictor of relapse and overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Assessment of MRD can be challenging due to the need for high sensitivity to detect small amounts of residual disease, the heterogeneity of myeloid neoplasms, and lack of standardization.
In this webinar, Dr. Jerald Radich, medical oncologist and researcher at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center:
- Shares the importance of MRD analysis in AML progression, prognosis, and therapy selection
- Explains the challenges of traditional MRD testing methods and how next‑generation sequencing (NGS) is rapidly emerging as a powerful technique for comprehensive and highly sensitive detection
- Discusses the latest research and medical guidelines and shares his perspective on the future of MRD detection with NGS
