2024 CASH丨Professor Jinghui Zhang:Monitoring clonal hematopoiesis in pediatric patients helps improve long-term prognosis

Clonal hematopoiesis typically refers to the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells due to genetic mutations, which is also the basis for various hematologic diseases; monitoring clonal hematopoiesis helps in early detection of hematologic malignancies. At the Fourth China Hematology Development Conference (CASH) held recently, Professor Jinghui Zhang from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital shared a report titled "Treatment-Related Clonal Hematopoiesis in Pediatric Cancer Survivors." Following the conference, "Oncology Frontier - Hematology Frontier" invited Professor Jinghui Zhang to delve deeply into the treatment-related causes, monitoring value, and long-term effects of clonal hematopoiesis.

Clonal hematopoiesis usually refers to myeloid cell proliferation caused by genetic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells, and is also the basis of the pathogenesis of various blood diseases; monitoring clonal hematopoiesis can enable early detection of hematological malignancies. At the 4th CASH held recently, Professor Jinghui Zhang from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital shared the report "Treatment-Related Clonal Hematopoiesis in Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer". After the meeting, " Oncology Frontier-Hematology Frontier" specially invited Professor Jinghui Zhang to give an in-depth sharing on the treatment-related causes, monitoring value and long-term impact of clonal hematopoiesis.
