| Abstract | Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) by flow cytometry in acute lymphoblastic leukemia is based on the identification of immunological profiles, expressed only in leukemic but not in normal cells. The aim of MRD analysis is to assess the response to treatment by detection of at least one leukemic cell in 10,000 normal cells. MRD evaluation makes it possible to identify patients with high risk of relapse, resulting in an adequate management of leukemia. This review presents an overall picture of flow cytometry features which can be applied in hematology and oncology, focus in the meaning and usefulness of MRD assessment, as well as in those aspects considered for performing it successfully. |
