Influence of clonal hematopoiesis on non-hematological diseases and aging processes
Inn Med (Heidelb). 2022 Oct 10. doi: 10.1007/s00108-022-01409-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe occurrence of clonal hematopoiesis, caused by acquired somatic mutations of leukemia-associated genes in blood stem cells is very common in the population and increases with age. Besides an increased risk of developing myeloid neoplasms, an unexpected causal relationship between clonal hematopoiesis and cardiovascular diseases was recently discovered. Clonal hematopoiesis presents as a new independent and strong risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, aortic val...

GSE178936 Longitudinal dynamics of clonal haematopoiesis identifies gene-specific fitness effects
Contributors : Neil A Robertson ; Eric Latorre-Crespo ; Maria Terradas-Terradas ; Linus J Schumacher ; Kristina Kirschner ; Tamir ChandraSeries Type : OtherOrganism : Homo sapiensThe prevalence of clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) in healthy individuals increases rapidly from age 60 onwards and has been associated with increased risk for malignancy, heart disease and ischemic stroke. CHIP is driven by somatic mutations in stem cells that are also drivers of myeloid malignancies. Since mutations in stem cells often drive leukaemia, we hypothesised that stem cell fitness substantially contributes to tra...

Medical Conditions Among Survivors of Adolescent and Young Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Conclusion: This study found that sociodemographic factors were associated with the risk of developing medical conditions in AYA NHL, ALL and AML survivors. As expected, the risk of medical conditions varied by cancer type and treatment, with those undergoing SCT having a higher risk of medical conditions regardless of cancer type. NHL and ALL survivors who were uninsured or publicly insured were at a consistently higher risk of developing medical conditions, as were Hispanic ALL survivors and Black AML survivors. Our findings highlight the higher burden of medical conditions in subgroups of cancer survivors that may relat...

Therapy-free remission in chronic myeloid leukemia: possible mechanism.
Authors: Gale RP, Hochhaus A Abstract Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can be cured using tyrosine kinase-inhibitors (TKIs) when cure is defined as achieving a life-expectancy similar or even better than sex- and age-matched persons without CML. Most deaths in persons with CML are now from non-leukemia-related causes including heart disease, diabetes other cancers and stroke. Contrary to expectation, 40-50 percent of persons with CML treated for a few years with TKIs and who achieve a deep molecular response can stop TKI-therapy without leukemia recurrence for several years, some possibly indefinitely. Consequently, ...

Scientists Discover a Bone-Deep Risk for Heart Disease
Few doctors, and even fewer patients, have heard of C.H.I.P. But it is emerging as a major cause of heart attacks and stroke, as deadly as high blood pressure or cholesterol.

Luteolin: How To Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
More than 100 women die of breast cancer in the U.S. every day. It's the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American women. But in my opinion, many of those women really die of a tragic medical error. Let me explain… Millions of women in the U.S. have taken Big Pharma's hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Their doctors prescribe it to try to relieve the symptoms of menopause. Like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and weight gain. But what the drug companies try to pass off as hormones are actually synthetic concoctions. They are fake versions of the estrogen and progesterone that your body makes n...
