Simone Ferrero, MD, University of Torino and Hospital “Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino”, Torino, Italy, discusses the lack of data on measurable residual disease (MRD) testing in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM). He mentions a study using the highly sensitive droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) technique to track MRD in the peripheral blood in MYD88-mutated WM. This interview took place at the 12th International Workshop on Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia (IWWM-12) in Prague, Czech Republic.
