Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review focuses on vascular complications associated with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and more specifically aims to discuss the clinical and biological evidence supporting the existence of a link between clonal hematopoiesis, cardiovascular events (CVE), and solid cancer (SC).

Recent Findings

The MPN natural history is driven by uncontrolled clonal myeloproliferation sustained by acquired somatic mutations in driver (JAK2, CALR, and MPL) and non-driver genes, involving epigenetic (e.g., TET2, DNMT3A) regulators, chromatin regulator genes (e.g., ASXL1, EZH2), and splicing machinery genes (e.g., SF3B1). The genomic alterations and additional thrombosis acquired risk factors are determinants for CVE. There is evidence that clonal hematopoiesis can elicit a chronic and systemic inflammation status that acts as driving force for the development of thrombosis, MPN evolution, and second cancer (SC). This notion may explain the mechanism that links arterial thrombosis in MPN patients and subsequent solid tumors. In the last decade, clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been detected in the general population particularly in the elderly and initially found in myocardial infarction and stroke, rising the hypothesis that the inflammatory status CHIP-associated could confer predisposition to both cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Summary

In summary, clonal hematopoiesis in MPN and CHIP confer a predisposition to cardiovascular events and cancer through chronic and systemic inflammation. This acquisition could open new avenues for antithrombotic therapy both in MPNs and in general population by targeting both clonal hematopoiesis and inflammation.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

Weniger PSA-Screening, mehr fortgeschrittene Tumoren

Eine Empfehlung gegen das Prostatakrebs-Screening, die mehrere Jahre in den Leitlinien des Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners gegeben wurde, hat sich nicht nur auf die Rate von PSA-Tests negativ ausgewirkt.

Schützt kutane Autoimmunität vor Hauttumoren?

Schwedische Registerdaten deuten auf ein geringeres Risiko für bestimmte Hauttumoren bei Personen mit Vitiligo oder autoimmuner Alopezie. Wie es dazu kommt, ist dagegen unklar.

Muss man wirklich auch die letzte Krebszelle eliminieren?

Genauere Prognoseabschätzung, bessere Therapiesteuerung und eine schnellere Entwicklung innovativer Behandlungsansätze – der Messung der minimalen Resterkrankung (MRD) wird ein enormes Potenzial attestiert. Eine Übersichtsarbeit unterstreicht jetzt aber: Es gibt noch blinde Flecken.

Zufällig entdeckter Barrett-Ösophagus nicht weniger risikobehaftet

Fälle von Barrett-Ösophagus, die bei einer ÖGD als Zufallsbefund zutage treten, sind keine Seltenheit und auch keineswegs harmloser als Barrett-Metaplasien, die bei gezieltem Screening oder Surveillance-Untersuchungen entdeckt werden.
