THERAPY-RELATED MYELOID NEOPLASMS: PREDISPOSITION AND CLONAL EVOLUTION by Emiliano Fabiani, Giulia Falconi, Antonio Cristiano, H. Hajrullaj, Giulia Falconi, Giuseppe Leone, Maria Teresa Voso

“…Although CHIP is generally considered benign, it has been associated with an increased risk of t-MN. In this context, the phenomenon of clonal evolution may be described as a dynamic process of expansion of preexisting clones, with or without acquisition of additional genetic alterations, that, by favoring the proliferation of more aggressive and/or resistant clones, may play a crucial role in the progression from preleukemic states to t-MN. …”
