Abstract
Clonal hematopoiesis is a precancerous state that is recognized as a new causal risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis is a condition that is often found in cancer survivors. These clonal expansions are caused by mutations in DNA damage-response pathway genes that allow hematopoietic stem cells to undergo positive selection in response to the genotoxic stress. These mutant cells increasingly give rise to progeny leukocytes that display enhanced proinflammatory properties. Recent experimental studies suggest that therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis may contribute to the medium- to long-term risk of genotoxic therapies on the cardiovascular system.Entities:
