ASH 2018 | MRD detection in myeloma autografts: 8-colour flow cytometry or NGS?

Here, Hiroyuki Takamatsu, MD, PhD, of Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan, discusses a study comparing the use of 8-color flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing for the detection of MRD in the autografts of MM patients.
