The Benefit of Detecting Minimal Residual Disease in MM

Effective treatment for multiple myeloma eradicates diseased cells from the body. That’s why the role of MRD, AKA the assessment of any Minimal Residual Disease left after treatment, is becoming so vital. As Professor Cirino Botta explains in our latest video, MRD can help hematologists detect and treat any remaining cancer cells to significantly increase a patient’s chance of survival.
In fact, for those with particularly strong immune systems, MRD can even reduce the likelihood of myeloma relapse, too.
