Synergistic and deleterious effects of PARPi and aging on the HSC pool, lymphopoiesis and apoptosis pathway in HSC leading to lymphopenia. Schematic evolution of lymphocyte count in older patients: age-related hematopoietic changes lead to lymphocyte count decrease (1), initiation of PARPi treatment might escalate this decrease (2), which can be further worsened by other intercurrent events (3), possibly leading to lymphopenia-related complications.
