OVERVIEW
Myelofibrosis (MF) is one of a group of heterogeneous hematopoietic disorders that constitute myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). The severity of these disorders can range from mild to aggressive, and the diseases are associated with shortened survival and greatly compromised quality of life. Cytopenias in MF are common, and often problematic, and are the most common reason for treatment interruption and/or dose reduction. Our expert panel will guide us in an interactive discussion on the unmet medical need for patients with cytopenic MF, the current treatment approaches, and emerging therapies that can be used in cytopenic patients.
