Review Title: Optimal measurable residual disease testing for acute myeloid leukemia
Abstract: Increasing evidence supports the prognostic significance of measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Dynamic MRD assessment for patients with AML complements baseline patient risk assessment factors in determining patient prognosis. MRD status may also be helpful in informing therapeutic decisions. The European Leukemia Net MRD working party recently issued consensus recommendations for the use of MRD in AML. The Food and Drug Administration also issued advice for using MRD in trials of hematologic malignancies. This article discusses MRD testing, highlights the challenges in adopting MRD testing in clinical practice, and provides insights into the future of the field. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
