Mechanistic overview and suggested strategies to overcome BCL-2 inhibitor resistance in TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia

Mapping exactly how TP53-mutated leukemias resist treatment reveals specific vulnerabilities researchers can now design combination therapies to target.

This Moffitt Cancer Center review comprehensively catalogs the mechanisms driving BCL-2 inhibitor resistance in TP53-mutated AML, from lineage plasticity to metabolic reprogramming. It proposes targeted strategies to overcome each resistance pathway in this poor-prognosis population.

Why it surfaced

Highly relevant review of venetoclax resistance in TP53-mutated AML from Moffitt. Practical framework for clinicians but no novel primary data.
