Ruben A. Mesa, MD, and Srdan Verstovsek, MD, PhD, provide insight on the disease burden and prognostic scoring of primary myelofibrosis, as well as options for nontransplant candidates.
Goals in Treating Low-Risk Primary Myelofibrosis
Srdan Verstovsek, MD, PhD, shares how he assesses and typically starts treatment in patients with low-risk primary myelofibrosis, looking specifically at whether patients are symptomatic or asymptomatic.
Polycythemia Vera: An Update on Clinical Trials
Experts discuss clinical trial updates in polycythemia vera, including data from RESPONSE, RESPONSE-2, an international observational study of ruxolitinib, and REVEAL.
PV Progression and Guideline-Directed Management
Ruben A. Mesa, MD, highlights signs of disease progression and the utilization of guideline recommendations in the occurrence of a thrombotic event when treating polycythemia vera.
Targeted DNA Sequencing Informs Posttransplant Relapse Rates in MDS
March 3rd 2021Targeted DNA sequencing prior to transplant can be used to determine which patients with myelodysplastic syndrome are at high risk for posttransplant relapse and should forego reduced-intensity conditioning in lieu of myeloablative conditioning.
Therapeutic Considerations in Polycythemia Vera
Key opinion leaders discuss treatment goals, considerations, and guideline recommendations for patients with low- or high-risk polycythemia vera.
Novel Concepts to Improve Survival, Manage Associated Symptoms in Myelofibrosis
March 2nd 2021Several novel therapeutics such as JAK inhibitors and luspatercept have been developed for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis and its associated symptoms, paving the way for improved survival rates and new combination strategies over the last decade.
