Key Words FLT3 mutation; Acute myeloid leukemia; Bone marrow microenvironment; Leukemia stem cell; Therapeutic resistance
Core Tip FLT3-mutated leukemia remains clinically challenging because therapeutic resistance is driven not only by intrinsic oncogenic signaling, but also by adaptive interactions with the bone marrow microenvironment. This review highlights how stromal protection, chemokine-mediated retention, hypoxic support, metabolic rewiring, immune evasion, and leukemia stem cell persistence collectively promote treatment failure and relapse. It also summarizes current and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at cotargeting FLT3 signaling, the supportive niche, and stem cell-related vulnerabilities.
