MRD - A term used to describe a very small number of cancer cells that remain in the body during or after treatment. MRD can only be found by highly sensitive laboratory methods, capable of finding one cancer cell in a million normal cells. Checking for MRD can help plan treatment, find out how well treatment is working, if the cancer has come back, or help predict prognosis. MRD tests are mainly used for blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia. Also known as measurable residual disease and minimal residual disease
