Clonal Hematopoiesis and Cancer Genetics: How Are They Linked, How Is Research Evolving?

XTalks

One of the more intriguing developments in cancer research in recent years is the growing understanding of clonal hematopoiesis, a phenomenon where blood cells expand from a single clone due to genetic mutations. Clonal hematopoiesis increases in prevalence with age and can precede hematologic malignancies.
