Abstract

Mutations in CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (CEBPA) occur in approximately 10% of patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Emerging evidence supports that in-frame mutations in the basic leucine zipper domain of CEBPA (CEBPAbZIP−inf) confer a survival benefit, and CEBPAbZIP−inf replaced CEBPA double mutations (CEBPAdm) as a unique entity in the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO-2022) classification and International Consensus Classification (ICC). However, challenges remain in daily clinical practice since more than 30% patients with CEBPAbZIP−inf die of AML despite intensive treatment. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the heterogeneities observed in AML with CEBPAdm and CEBPAbZIP−inf, and will discuss the prognostic implications of concurrent mutations and novel mechanistic targets that may inform future drug development. The ultimate goal is to optimize clinical management and to provide precision medicine for this category of patients.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
