Abstract
Over the past 20 years, approaches to the therapy of multiple myeloma have undergone significant changes, and frequency of achieving remission of the disease increased. The new diagnostic methods allowed evaluating the more deep therapy response and predicting the relapse: allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, next generation sequencing, multicolor flow cytometry may detect a minimal residual disease (MRD) with a sensitivity of 10–5 to 10–6. Evaluation of MRD by flow cytometry is a dynamically developing direction of research. The aim of multicenter investigations using flow cytometry for MRD-searching in multiple myeloma is standardization, increasing the sensitivity and specificity of this method. The article presents data on the methods used in monitoring MRD, as well as advances in flow cytometry.
