This study aims to determine the prognostic significance of therapy-induced senescence and SASP dynamics in acute myeloid leukemia.
Assessed senescence and SASP factors in bone marrow plasma by ELISA.
Patients were divided into High-Senescence and Low-Senescence groups based on median cut-off values.
Flow cytometry was used to evaluate senescence markers and SA-β-gal activity.
High senescence burden post-induction is linked to worse outcomes (HR 1.98, 95% CI 1.15-3.40).
The presence of SASP factors correlated with the poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia.
Therapy-induced senescence fosters a pro-tumoral microenvironment that may lead to leukemic relapse.
