MRD literature typically refers to literature related to Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in the context of cancer. MRD refers to the small number of cancer cells that may remain in the body during or after treatment, even when the patient is in remission. Detecting and monitoring MRD is crucial because these residual cancer cells can potentially lead to relapse. MRD literature encompasses research articles, clinical studies, reviews, and other publications focused on understanding, detecting, monitoring, and treating minimal residual disease in various types of cancer.
