In the episode, we explore the family of diseases called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Dr. Anand Patel and Dr. Olatoyosi Odenike of The University of Chicago Medicine share the latest advances in treatments for MPNs, including myelofibrosis (MF), polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). We also highlight how treatment teams prioritize the improvement of patients’ quality of life as a key aspect of care.
