In the height of summer, Harbin—known as the “Ice City”—welcomed a gathering of scientific minds. From July 11 to 13, 2025, the 9th Annual Hematologic Oncology Congress of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) was held in Harbin. The congress brought together top experts from China and abroad to discuss advancements in leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other hematologic diseases, spanning basic research, novel drug development, precision medicine, and clinical translation. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains one of the most challenging diseases in clinical hematology, urgently requiring innovative breakthroughs. At the conference, Professor Xiaoyu Zhu from the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) presented exciting findings on “Basic and Translational Research on Double-Negative T Cells for AML Treatment.” In an exclusive interview with Oncology Frontier – Hematology Frontier, Professor Zhu further elaborated on the latest progress in this cutting-edge field.
