Background The presence of minimal residual disease detected by polymerase chain reaction techniques prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has proven to be an independent prognostic factor for poor outcome in children with acute ...

Prognostic impact of KMT2A-AFF1-positivity in 926 BCR-ABL1-negative B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients treated in GIMEMA clinical trials since 1996 [PDF]
The impact of KMT2A-AFF1 rearrangement in pediatric-like, minimal residual disease (MRD)-based clinical trials and the effect of transplant in KMT2A-AFF1 ALL are still ...

Minimal Residual Disease Detection in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Minimal residual disease (MRD) refers to a chemotherapy/radiotherapy-surviving leukemia cell population that gives rise to relapse of the disease. The detection of MRD is critical for predicting the outcome and for selecting the intensity of further ...

Sensitive Detection of Minimal Residual Disease in Patients Treated for Early-Stage Breast Cancer
Purpose: Existing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methods lack the sensitivity needed for detecting minimal residual disease (MRD) following therapy. We developed a test for tracking hundreds of patient-specific mutations to detect MRD with a 1,000-fold lower ...

NGS-MRD >0 is highly predictive of relapse after tisagenlecleucel therapy for ALL. Serial monitoring of NGS-MRD and B-cell aplasia identifies high-risk patients with sufficient time for interventions to prevent relapse.

Quantification of minimal residual disease may guide therapeutic strategies in mantle cell lymphoma. While multiparameter flow cytometry is used for diagnosis, the gold standard method for minimal residual disease analysis is real-time quantitative ...

Clinical Applications and Future Directions of Minimal Residual Disease Testing in Multiple Myeloma
In the last years, the life expectancy of multiple myeloma (MM) patients has substantially improved thanks to the availability of many new drugs. Our ability to induce deep responses has improved as well, and the treatment goal in patients tolerating ...

Dynamics of Minimal Residual Disease in Neuroblastoma Patients
Neuroblastoma is a common extracranial solid tumor of neural crest (NC) origin that accounts for up to 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. The disease arises from a transient population of NC cells that undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT ...

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 ...
