Abstract
This review aims to examine differences in the immune microenvironment between low-risk and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Furthermore, it explores the impact of immune cell imbalance, abnormal cytokine levels, and stromal cell impairment on disease progression and prognosis. Additionally, the review analyzes the immune mechanisms underlying the transformation of high-risk MDS to AML. These findings provide valuable insights for both prognostic stratification of MDS by means of immune markers and the development of targeted therapies for AML.
期刊介绍:
Leukemia & Lymphoma in its fourth decade continues to provide an international forum for publication of high quality clinical, translational, and basic science research, and original observations relating to all aspects of hematological malignancies. The scope ranges from clinical and clinico-pathological investigations to fundamental research in disease biology, mechanisms of action of novel agents, development of combination chemotherapy, pharmacology and pharmacogenomics as well as ethics and epidemiology. Submissions of unique clinical observations or confirmatory studies are considered and published as Letters to the Editor
