The Role of MRD in Hematologic Malignancies

Authors: Aaron C. Logan, MD, PhD
CME Released: 9/25/2015
THIS ACTIVITY HAS EXPIRED FOR CREDIT
Valid for credit through: 9/25/2016, 11:59 PM EST

Start Activity

Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for hematologists, oncologists, and other clinicians caring for patients with hematologic malignancies.

The goal of this activity is to understand MRD and methods of detection, assess the utility of MRD in the clinical setting, and how it is used in the management of patients with ALL, CLL, NHL, and MM.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

Define MRD and review methods of detection
Examine the utility of MRD testing for the assessment of disease status and its effect on treatment decisions
Differentiate the role of MRD in the management of patients with lymphoid malignancies
