MRD Clinical Updates in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Monitoring a patient’s measurable residual disease (MRD) at various points throughout active treatment and into remission provides important personalized insights into the effectiveness of a given therapy and may be used to predict which patients are at risk of relapse. Testing for MRD can shape treatment choices and overall patient management to achieve better outcomes.

The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) is hosting a webinar with faculty who are experts in the field of hematologic malignancies.

This webinar will provide the multidisciplinary cancer team with important and practical information for the assessment of measurable residual disease (MRD) as part of routine clinical practice for their patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

The presentation will be valuable for understanding the impact of MRD on treatment decisions and practice patterns, which has promise to lead to major improvements in outcomes for CLL patients in the very near future.
