CD47 is a cell surface protein which is overexpressed in several cancer cells and appears to play an important role in a variety of hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Currently, several anti-CD47 agents are under investigation for MDS, with promising results being demonstrated in clinical trials.
