The MPN community is rich with individuals who go to extraordinary lengths to make a meaningful difference—patients whose unwavering strength is an inspiration, caregivers who consistently […]
Precision Medicine in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs): Molecular Insights and Advances
Simple Summary Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) represent a group of blood cancers characterized by the excessive production of blood cells in the bone marrow, including Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), and Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF). Recent advancements in the field of molecular biology have significantly enhanced our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of these conditions. The […]
Overcoming fear: How avid hiker and PV patient Gary put one foot in front of the other until he found a treatment that worked
Part of my inspiration for becoming an advocate and sharing information on PV Reporter is to encourage others living with PV to educate themselves and maintain a positive mindset, despite their diagnosis. I know how it feels to hear the words, “you have cancer,” and how that fear can impact one’s outlook on life. Throughout […]
Polycythemia Vera Exercise Recommendations
Abstract Background Exercise therapy during cancer treatment reduces symptom burden and improves quality of life (QoL). Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative neoplasia associated with good overall survival (up to decades) but a significant symptom burden, including thromboembolic events and dysesthesias. There are no specific exercise recommendations for patients with PV. Thus, we aimed to […]
How should we define disease modification in MPN?
by David Wallace A disease modifying drug for MPN patients specifically targets disease-initiating stem cells that lead to MPN phenotypes, leading to regression of the disease while improving associated complications. Our guest MPN expert is Dr. Ghaith Abu-Zeinah from Weill Cornell Medicine in NYC. Listen in to learn more.
