In this season's fourth episode of "The HemOnc Pulse," Catherine Coombs, MD, an Associate Professor in the Division of Hematology/Oncology at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine, highlights recent studies in clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) presented at the 65th American Society of Hematology Meeting & Exposition.

Dr. Coombs discusses research on reversing the adverse effects of CHIP, particularly its association with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, using interventions such as selective nuclear export inhibitors. She also illustrates another study that looks at the prevalence of CHIP in patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant in lymphoma, which showed an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and lower survival rates.
