Gene test spots hidden leukemia in kids
NCT ID NCT06525116
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 148 children with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia to see if a high-tech gene test could find tiny amounts of cancer left after treatment. Researchers used next-generation sequencing to check for specific gene changes in immune cells. They then compared these results with how long children stayed cancer-free. The goal was to learn if this test can better predict relapse.
