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 […]
What Rare Disease Day Means to Me
by David Wallace Hi, my name is David, and I am a polycythemia vera (PV) warrior. PV is a rare blood cancer. To me, living with a rare disease is not just a medical journey; it’s a testament to resilience and the power of community. Rare Disease Day, for me, is more than just a […]
What is Blast Phase Myeloproliferative Neoplasm?
Abstract Leukemic transformation in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), also referred to as “blast-phase MPN”, is the most feared disease complication, with incidence estimates of 1–4% for essential thrombocythemia, 3–7% for polycythemia vera, and 9–13% for primary myelofibrosis. Diagnosis of MPN-BP requires the presence of ≥20% circulating or bone marrow blasts; a lower level of excess blasts […]
