What is Blood Cancer?
Someone around the world is diagnosed with blood cancer every 35 seconds (every 3 minutes in the U.S.)… but what does this mean? With over 137 different types of blood cancer and blood disorders, it can be difficult to understand what exactly is meant by the term ‘blood cancer.’ This video uses a medical approach […]
Impact of Anti-Endothelial Cell Antibodies in Patients with Polycythemia Vera and Thrombosis
Physicians should consider measuring anti-endothelial cell antibodies in patients with polycythemia vera, the investigators suggested. A new analysis of anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECAs) in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) suggests that autoimmunity may be one mechanism by which thrombosis develops. Abstract Polycythemia vera (PV) causes thrombosis. Erythrocytosis and cell adhesiveness are responsible for thrombosis. JAK2V617F causes inflammation […]
Lifestyle, Environmental and Host Factors in the development of MPN
Abstract Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) occur when there is over-production of myeloid cells stemming from hematopoietic stem cells with constitutive activation of JAK/STAT signaling, with JAK2V617F being the most commonly occurring somatic driver mutation. Chronic inflammation is a hallmark feature of MPNs and it is now evident that inflammation is not only a symptom of MPN but […]
What constitutes disease modification in myelofibrosis?
Abstract The development of targeted therapies for the treatment of myelofibrosis highlights a unique issue in a field that has historically relied on symptom relief, rather than survival benefit or modification of disease course, as key response criteria. There is, therefore, a need to understand what constitutes disease modification of myelofibrosis to advance appropriate drug […]
Curcumin Induces Cell Death in JAK2 Mutated Cells by Inhibition of JAK2/STAT and mTORC1 Pathways
Publisher’s Note by David Wallace: The two studies below provide compelling data on the effectiveness of supplementation with curcumin in patients with MPN. Although no recent studies on curcumin have emerged in MPN (since 2019), it would seem prudent to discuss the supplement with your physician. Naturally if you are taking any type of blood […]

Jazz great Ron Miles dies due to complications from blood cancer Polycythemia Vera
Ron Miles, legendary Denver-based jazz musician, educator and prolific recording and stage artist has died at 58. His death was confirmed by his label, NY-based Blue Note Records. According to a publicist there, Miles’ manager and producer Hans Wendl said that Miles died shortly before midnight on Tuesday, March 8 at his home in Denver […]
Preclinical studies of Flonoltinib Maleate, novel JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor treatment for MPNs
Abstract Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) hyperactivation by JAK2V617F mutation leads to myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and targeting JAK2 could serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for MPNs. Here, we report that Flonoltinib Maleate (FM), a selective JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor, shows high selectivity for JAK2 over the JAK family. Surface plasmon resonance assays verified that FM had a stronger affinity […]
Has PV become a disease of the middle-aged?
by David Wallace Dr. Ghaith Abu-Zeinah, Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, Silver MPN Center is our MPN specialist answering this important question. David Wallace, PV Reporter, is your host and patient advocate. TRANSCRIPT | Has PV become a disease of the middle-aged? David: For many years PV been considered an older person’s disease. […]
