Individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) have a high risk of developing other malignancies (OMs). The development of OMs may be associated with the advanced age of CLL/SLL patients, presence of a tumor-promoting microenvironment, immune alterations inherent to CLL/SLL, or chemotherapy. Importantly, the occurrence of OMs following frontline fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR) treatment is associated with a reduction in the overall survival (OS).

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) target the DNA repair pathways and have been established in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) as maintenance therapy inducing prolonged survival. However, recently published data showed that PARPi may increase the risk of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Herein, we investigated the incidence, characteristics, and management of t-MN among EOC patients after exposure to PARPi in a Greek Cancer Center.

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is associated with an increased risk of developing myeloid neoplasms (MNs) such as myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In general, CH comprises clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). It is an age-related phenomenon characterized by the presence of somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that acquire a fitness advantage under selection pressure.

Epidemiological studies for atomic bomb (A-bomb) survivors clearly demonstrated that A-bomb radiation increased the risk of hematological neoplasms, such as acute and chronic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) among survivors. Several studies on MDS among survivors investigated its characteristics, and it seems that MDS among survivors has different features from those seen in de novo MDS and therapy-related MDS. In this short review, we describe the differences of clinical features, chromosomal alterations and genome aberrations among them.

TP53-mutated myeloid disease is a constellation of abnormalities seen in both de novo and therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Historically, this group of disorders has had a poor prognosis. Newer treatment combinations allow patients to be treated with less toxicity.
