Who should consider MRD testing and when should it be done?

So who should consider MRD testing? Well, that's something that any patient with AML should discuss with their doctor. In general, in my practice, I test for MRD during any bone marrow that I'm performing. And if for a patient who's otherwise in remission. That said, for someone who's been in remission for three or more years, generally speaking, we stopped doing bone marrow at that point and it's not necessary to check for MRD at that point.
