During the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting, the Multiple Myeloma Hub spoke with Parameswaran Hari, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, US. We asked, What are the challenges and possibilities of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to monitor response and relapse in MM?

Using ctDNA to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) in the peripheral blood presents a sensitive, noninvasive technique to predict relapse in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Hari outlines the advantages of ctDNA analysis over bone marrow aspiration, and presents data from a study investigating the prognostic value of ctDNA in patients with MM following auto-HCT.
