What is the Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) by Flow Cytometry test?
The Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) by Flow Cytometry test is used to detect small numbers of remaining cancer cells in blood or bone marrow after leukemia or lymphoma treatment. The test uses flow cytometry technology to identify abnormal cells with high sensitivity.
Why is the Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) by Flow Cytometry test done?
- To evaluate treatment response in leukemia and lymphoma patients.
- To detect residual cancer cells after therapy.
- To assess the risk of disease relapse.
- To monitor remission status.
- To support long-term cancer management.
