An update on PCR use for minimal residual disease monitoring in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the first neoplasm where the assessment of early response to therapy by minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring has proven to be a fundamental tool for guiding therapeutic choices. In recent years, thanks to real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), MRD monitoring has further achieved higher levels of sensitivity and standardization. However, some outstanding issues...
