Blood Cancer Awareness Month ends in 48 hours, but the need for MPN research continues. More than 300,000 people in the U.S. live with myeloproliferative neoplasms (#MPNs), yet these rare blood cancers remain underrecognized. Support MPN research: mpnresearchfoundation.org/do…

Congratulations to the authors and the Progression Research Network on this publication. We are proud to see this collaborative effort contribute to the growing body of research focused on MPN disease progression.
Why do some pts with MPNs stay stable for decades while others progress? @MPN_RF launched the MPN Progression Research Network in 2020 to address this pressing issue. We now present a blueprint for dealing with progression from these efforts. (nature.com/articles/s41375-0…).A thread🧵

1/4  MPNs — including ET, PV and MF — are blood cancers in which the bone marrow produces abnormal numbers of blood cells. They typically follow a chronic course, although disease behavior and progression vary. #MPNAwarenessDay

3/4  For some eligible people with myelofibrosis, a donor stem cell transplant may offer the possibility of a cure. But it carries substantial risks and is not right for everyone. Better and more accessible treatment options are urgently needed.
