Primary myelofibrosis: current therapeutic options

Abstract: Primary myelofibrosis is a Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonal myeloid expansion, followed by progressive fibrous connective tissue deposition in the bone marrow, resulting in bone marrow failure. Clonal evolution can also occur, with an increased risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. In addition, disabling constitutional symptoms secondary to the high circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines and hepatosplenomegaly frequently impair quality of life. Here… Show more

“…The patient has no JAK2 (Janus kinase 2, V617 F), MPL (thrombopoietin receptor, W515 K/L) and CALR (calreticulin, exon 9 indel) mutation which are identified in approximately 90% of patients to help with the diagnosis and the prognostic stratification of Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) patients [ 9 , 10 ]. This means that the cases had no basis of genetic mutations for PMF.…”

“…[56] In patients with transfusiondependent anaemia and iron overload, iron chelation therapy is the main approach to prevent iron-induced organ damage. [35,54] Splenectomy may exceptionally be indicated for palliative control of persistent anaemia. [54] It improves anaemia and thrombocytopaenia by allowing for sequestered blood cells to enter the peripheral circulation.…”

“…[35,54] Splenectomy may exceptionally be indicated for palliative control of persistent anaemia. [54] It improves anaemia and thrombocytopaenia by allowing for sequestered blood cells to enter the peripheral circulation. [40] However, splenectomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with the most common complications being bleeding, infection and thrombosis.…”

“…Also, a 10% WL after allogenic HSCT (alloHSCT) was associated with worse clinical outcome [5]. This evidence demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive nutritional assessment, including measurement of dry weight, which is necessary for monitoring disease progression and to allow effective planning of nutritional interventions [6].…”
