Panelists discuss monitoring parameters when treating patients with polycythemia vera (PV), including what to assess, typical outcomes, and when treatment should be switched due to ineffectiveness. Dr Kuykendall to Dr Gangat: Panelists explore the risk of PV progression/transformation, risk factors for progression, and how the data influence patient care and treatment choices in practice.

Panelists discuss noteworthy updates in polycythemia vera (PV) from ASH 2024, explore the future of PV treatment, highlight the greatest unmet needs, and discuss how ongoing investigational therapies aim to address these gaps. They also share clinical pearls for community oncologists in managing PV.
