Clonal hematopoiesis in myeloid malignancies and solid tumors

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) results from clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells. In specific contexts, CH is linked with an increased risk of blood cancers and mortality in individuals with solid tumors. To understand the mechanisms and clinical relevance of this association, it is crucial to explore the reciprocal relationship between CH and cancer. Here, we provide an updated summary of the mechanisms known to drive CH in blood cancers and solid tumors. In addition, we review proposed strategies to intercept CH and examine their impact on solid tumor-directed therapies, including immunostimulatory therapies.
