ABOUT clonoSEQ®
Why clonoSEQ?
clonoSEQ can detect 1 cancer cell among a million healthy cells1*†
What does 1 in a million mean to you? It means that you and your doctor can pinpoint exactly where you are on your blood cancer journey. By precisely tracking MRD both during and after treatment, you and your doctor can be more informed about your response to therapy—and can plan next steps accordingly.1
*If enough sample material is provided.
†clonoSEQ works a bit differently for DLBCL, so the “1 in a million” number does not apply. However, clonoSEQ still detects MRD at a very deep level.
