A patient with ALL underwent chemotherapy. Results from hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular analyses indicated that the patient entered complete remission. Four years later, on routine follow-up,
the peripheral blood results for the patient were in the normal range, and cytogenetic analysis revealed no abnormalities, but molecular analysis showed BCR/ABL1 transcripts that were found in the blasts at diagnosis 4 years ago. This patient can be said to:
a. Be in complete remission
b. Be in molecular and cytogenetic remission
c. Have minimal residual disease
d. Have partial cytogenetic remission
