Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) refers to the small number of cancer cells left in a body after cancer treatment. MRD tests are performed to diagnose and monitor patients with various hematology cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. An MRD test looks for cancer cells not killed by chemotherapy or other cancer treatments. Moreover, these tests also play a crucial role in clinical trials of hemato-oncology therapeutics.
