General overview of minimal residual disease detection. The figure shows two scenarios emphasizing the importance of MRD detection after initial treatment of mantle cell lymphoma. When MRD detection is not performed, there is no indication of how effective the treatment was on the tumor, and relapse may eventually occur (left). If MRD diagnosis confirms a positive result, the patient can be prescribed to a more personalized treatment to prevent any future relapses (right)
