About this book
This book focuses on three of the main categories of myeloproliferative neoplasm: polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. Relevant laboratory and clinical advances are comprehensively covered, and great emphasis is placed on the practical issues that challenge physicians in their daily practice. The main topics considered thus include contemporary diagnostic  approaches, the value and limitations of mutation screening for diagnostic and  prognostic purposes, risk stratification in terms of both survival and other  disease complications such as leukemic transformation and thrombosis, and  modern therapeutic strategies, including conventional drugs, allogeneic stem cell  transplantation, and experimental drugs still under study. The reader will find Critical Concepts and Management Recommendations in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms to be an invaluable and up-to-date source of information from leading authorities in the field.
