- Dr. Scandura , you mentioned promising research in myelofibrosis treatment. (powerfulpatients.org)
- Therefore, accurate disease risk prognostication is critical for treatment decision-making. (bvsalud.org)
- Experts from Penn Medicine's Endocrine Disease team discuss the management of Thyroid Nodules and address critical decision making points along this patient-centered pathway of treatment. (pennmedicine.org)
- Several unmet needs remain in the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis, including the lack of treatments available for low-risk patients who are diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a cancer that shortens their life expectancy, Harrison says. (onclive.com)

- I'm joined today by Dr. Ruben Mesa, the director of the UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center and world-renowned MPN (myeloproliferative neoplasm) expert, and a dear colleague. (curetoday.com)
Peripheral2
- Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), unlike MDS, usually exhibit terminal myeloid cell expansion in the peripheral blood [ 7 ]. (medilib.ir)
- The leukoerythroblastic picture seen in peripheral blood was suggestive of myelofibrosis. (cap.org)
Allogeneic1
- Outcomes of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (Allo-HCT) in Patients with CALR-Mutated Myelofibrosis compared to those patients with a JAK2-mutation. (ebmt.org)
Platelets2
- One group of those are the myeloproliferative neoplasms, which includes essential thrombocythemia, a disease named for having too many platelets, polycythemia vera, a disease named for having too many red blood cells, and myelofibrosis. (curetoday.com)
- Overview of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Myeloproliferative neoplasms are clonal proliferations of bone marrow stem cells, which can manifest as an increased number of platelets, red blood cells (RBCs), or white blood cells (WBCs). (msdmanuals.com)
Stem2
- In these diseases the stem cells in the bone marrow, responsible for producing all the blood cells, have acquired a genetic defect which makes them produce one of the myeloid lineage blood cells in an uncontrolled manner. (fcarreras.org)
- Currently, stem cell therapy is the best option, but it first requires intensive chemotherapy to reduce the disease burden to become eligible. (ajmc.com)

Inhibition1
- The specific effect on bone marrow fibrosis of JAK2 inhibition, and other rationally based therapies currently being evaluated in myelofibrosis, has yet to be fully elucidated. (haematologica.org)
