Childhood Cancer Treatment and Clonal Hematopoiesis

Cancer Discov. 2023 Apr 3;13(4):811-813. doi: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-23-0090.

Abstract

Hagiwara and colleagues investigated the effects of childhood cancer treatment on the clonal composition of blood. Their findings provide strong evidence that treatment promotes clonal outgrowths (clonal hematopoiesis) in childhood cancer survivors. See related article by Hagiwara et al., p. 844 (4).
