PRD

PRD, or peripheral residual disease, refers to a very small number of cancer cells that can still be found in your bloodstream after treatment. Even after therapy has significantly reduced the cancer, these few remaining cells can sometimes be detected in the blood circulating throughout your body. Understanding PRD is important because it provides information about your health status and helps your care team consider future monitoring or treatment options. This topic will explain what PRD means for you and how it can inform decisions about your ongoing care.
