Blood test could replace bone marrow biopsy for rare blood cancer monitoring
NCT ID NCT03952052
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 45 adults newly diagnosed with Waldenström's disease, a rare blood cancer. Researchers compared different lab methods to detect a common genetic mutation (MYD88 L265P) in blood and bone marrow samples. The goal was to find less invasive ways to diagnose and track the disease, potentially reducing the need for painful bone marrow biopsies.
