In this cohort, 5‑color flow cytometry provided practical MRD assessment in B‑ALL, whereas 10‑color flow cytometry offered greater immunophenotypic detail and improved recognition of low‑level residual disease. These findings support the routine use of flow cytometry‑based MRD evaluation alongside morphology for post‑induction response assessment and risk‑adapted management in B‑ALL.
