Minimal residual disease in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer
Targeted therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is an effective treatment for EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), however most patients invariably relapse after a period of minimal residual ...

Studies of FLT3 mutations in paired presentation and relapse samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia: implications for the role of FLT3 mutations in leukemogenesis, minimal residual disease detection, and possible therapy with FLT3 inhibitors [PDF]
FLT3 mutations, either internal tandem duplications (ITDs) or aspartate residue 835 (D835) point mutations, are present in approximately one third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have been associated with an increased relapse rate.

Minimal residual disease [PDF]
Monitoring of residual disease in patients with malignant hematologic disorders has been recognized as an important diagnostic tool for assessment of the response to treatment and the individual risk of relapse. In a number of malignancies, employment of sensitive techniques permitting the identification of tumor cells within a 10(4)-fold or greater ...

Comparative analysis of Ig and TCR gene rearrangements at diagnosis and at elapse of childhood precursor-B–ALL provides improved strategies for selection of stable PCR targets for monitoring of minimal residual disease [PDF]
Immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements are excellent patient-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targets for detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but they might be unstable ...

Liquid biopsies and minimal residual disease in lymphoid malignancies
Minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment using peripheral blood instead of bone marrow aspirate/biopsy specimen or the biopsy of the cancerous infiltrated by lymphoid malignancies is an emerging technique with enormous interest of research and ...

Minimal residual disease has emerged as an important prognostic factor for relapse and survival in acute myeloid leukemia. Eradication of minimal residual disease may increase the number of patients with long-term survival; however, to date, strategies ...

Molecular monitoring of minimal residual disease in two patients with MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia and haploidentical transplantation after relapse [PDF]
This report describes the clinical courses of two acute myeloid leukemia patients. Both had MLL translocations, the first a t(10;11)(p11.2;q23) with MLL-AF10 and the second a t(11;19)(q23;p13.1) with MLL-ELL fusion.
