Adriana Rossi, MD
Testing for minimal or measurable residual disease (MRD) in blood cancer has transformed the way we look at remission and treatment planning.
In this episode, we speak to Dr. Adriana Rossi of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York about how MRD testing is being utilized for blood cancer patients. Join us as we explore minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) testing for blood cancer and its role in guiding treatment decisions and predicting relapse and prognosis.
