Objectives And Methods: We analyzed the impact of pretransplant MRD level in bone marrow measured by flow cytometry using "different from normal" method on outcomes for 189 AML patients (108 males; median age, 58 (21-80) years). All patients were subdivided into negative (n = 96), "low" (0.1%-0.5%, n = 32), and "high" MRD (>0.5%, n = 61) groups.

Results: In multivariate analysis, the hazard ratios for "high" and "low" MRD levels related to MRD negativity were 7.9 (95% CI 3.5-18.1, P < .001) and 5.4 (95% CI 2.1-14, P = .0058) for relapse; 2.3 (95% CI 1.3-4.1, P = .006) and 1.6 (95% CI 0.82-3.3, P = .16) for OS; and 2.8 (95% CI 1.7-4.7, P < .001) and 2.2 (95% CI 1.1-4.2, P = .02) for LFS, respectively. We found no significant impact of "low" MRD level on relapses (0.68, 95% CI 0.33-1.4, P = .30), OS (0.72, 95% CI: 0.36-1.5, P = .36) and LFS (0.79, 95% CI: 0.42-1.5, P = .46) related to "high" MRD group.

Conclusions: Presence of detectable MRD was indicative for a high relapse risk, low LFS and OS. "Low" MRD level showed no significant impact on relapse, LFS and OS related to "high" MRD group.

Minimal residual disease (MRD), a crucial biomarker for assessing efficacy and predicting recurrence, refers to residual tumor cells remaining in the body of patients with hematological malignancies who achieved complete remission after treatment. This study aimed to conduct a retrospective analysis of the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and MRD monitoring of a pediatric patient with multiple acute B-lymphocytic leukemia relapses, alongside a review of relevant literature. In this case, Ig rearrangement based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) was more accurate in assessing the MRD level, compared with the traditional method of MRD detection, indicating the risk of earlier relapse and guided interventions in time.

The application of standardized criteria to evaluate treatment efficacy is crucial for guiding therapeutic decisions, assessing prognosis, and interpreting outcomes in treating multiple myeloma (MM). The unique characteristics of MM make its response assessment more complex compared with other malignancies. It primarily depends on serum and urine M protein levels, combined with the number of plasma cells in the bone marrow and comprehensive imaging findings.

This study, conducted as part of a multicenter phase III clinical trial, aimed to assess the utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based minimal residual disease (MRD) in comparing the efficacy of short-course and long-course chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). A total of 244 plasma samples from 79 LARC patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) before surgery were collected at various time points. Targeted deep sequencing using a novel MRD panel was performed.

Introduction: Assessment of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as means to monitor disease activity in translocation-associated tumors has become very popular in clinical practice. However, there are still few studies on its clinical application to date. Our study evaluates the clinical applicability of ctDNA as a biomarker for monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with translocation-associated sarcomas.
