Numerous studies have demonstrated the value of measurable residual disease (MRD) as a prognostic marker in patients with acute leukemia. While many markers have been well-validated for this approach such as NPM1 and specific recurrent fusions, some markers such as those associated with clonal hematopoiesis remain challenging. This session will discuss advances in the methods of MRD detection in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and highlight some of the pitfalls.
