PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a rare, chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) occurring de novo (primary) or secondary to polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. MF is associated with high heterogeneity and a variable clinical course, such that risk stratification is an essential component of the initial diagnosis. Advances in our understanding of the molecular characteristics of MF have resulted in a multitude of risk stratification models, the availability of which may, however, pose significant challenges to clinicians, especially in the community setting. Clinicians also face the challenge of evolving treatment options. Drs. Mesa and Gerds review the most impactful publications related to patients diagnosed with MF that are experiencing anemia and thrombocytopenia. A reading list and key slides are available for download.
