Hematologic malignancies arise from hematopoietic or immune system tissues and are characterized by abnormal cellular growth.Ferroptosis,a newly recognized form of cell death,is driven by mechanisms such as iron me-tabolism,oxidative defense,and lipid peroxidation.Increasing evidence has highlighted a significant link between ferrop-tosis and various hematologic cancers.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has shown particular promise in the treatment of these cancers,offering unique therapeutic approaches.This article explores the role of ferroptosis modulation in hemato-logic malignancies and reviews the current understanding of how TCM's bioactive compounds and monomers exert their ef-fects in managing hematologic cancers,including leukemia,lymphoma,and multiple myeloma,through the induction of ferroptosis.The objective is to provide insight into potential strategies for targeting ferroptosis as a treatment approach for these malignancies.
