What is the future of MRD testing for AML?

So I think more sensitive assays that can detect lower amounts of leukemia and identify patients who are more likely to relapse earlier and also MRD tests that can be done on the blood because this is much easier for patients to do. And I think it's a test that we can do more often. There's a lot of current research going into MRD and we're looking at these types of MRD therapies and hopefully these can be used in the clinics soon.
