ABSTRACT
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a common lymphoma that affects young patients. Fortunately, the disease is highly curable as it is susceptible to the currently available treatment modalities. Disease monitoring with Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET/ CT) is an integral part of managing these patients. PET guided protocols are currently used to adjust treatment according to the response. The pivotal idea behind the use of response-adapted approaches is to preserve efficacy while decreasing the toxicity. It also helps to intensify therapy in patients in need because of suboptimal response. However, imaging techniques are limited by their sensitivity and specificity. Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) assessment is a newly emerging concept in many hematologic malignancies. It utilizes various molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) as well as flow cytometry, to detect disease traces. This review looks into MRD detection techniques, its current applications, and the evidence in the literature for its use in cHL.
