Spectrum From Clonal Hematopoiesis to Myelodysplastic Neoplasm/Syndromes and Other Myeloid Neoplasms

Abstract

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) confers a high risk of aging-related diseases and hematologic malignancy. There are still significant knowledge gaps in identifying high-risk patients with CH and managing such patients. In this review, we focus on 3 areas: (1) the natural history of CH; (2) the risks of progression of CH, including CH of indeterminate potential, clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance, and therapy-related CH, to myeloid malignancy; and (3) the challenges and unmet needs of CH management and research.
