Firas El Chaer, MD, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, discusses various modalities to assess measurable residual disease (MRD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Whilst multicolor flow cytometry (MFC) is a very reliable test for MRD for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), other modalities such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are much more sensitive and specific for the various subtypes of AML. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
