Two methods are currently preferred for MRD evaluation in many centers: multiparameter flow cytometry and real-time quantitative PCR. Additional methods such as next-generation sequencing and digital PCR are under investigation, in an attempt to increase the sensitivity and thus allowing the detection of small clones. Many studies suggest that MRD positivity after chemotherapy is associated with negative prognosis, and the reappearance of MRD during follow-up allows impending relapse to be identified and consequently enables early intervention. Finally, MRD positivity before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is predictive of the outcome. Although the significance of MRD in acute leukemia has been widely explored, the assessment of molecular MRD is not yet a routine practice. In this review, we describe the significance of MRD in different settings and the main markers and methods used for MRD detection.
