Two-time cancer survivor and Patient Power host, Andrew Schorr, speaks candidly with Dr. Philip Thompson, CLL specialist at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Together, they explore MRD (minimal residual disease) negativity and how this status impacts long-term disease results. Dr. Thompson discusses consolidation strategies that may positively impact 11q and 17p deletion patients as researchers seek answers for a cure.
