Risk Factors for Secondary Cancer in a Case-Control Study on 1,259 Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
2018
Abstract INTRODUCTION The incidence of secondary cancer (SC) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is high and comparable to that of thrombosis. However, the identification of patient subgroups that might be at increased susceptibility of developing SC has not been systematically addressed. We report here the results of an international case-control study (MPN-K) aimed at comparing the frequency of exposure to possible causes of SC in patients with classical MPN, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF). METHODS This European Leukaemia Network (ELN) study reports MPN patients from 28 sites of 5 European countries and Israel, diagnosed in th…

Abstract Abstract 4974 Background The bone marrow trephine biopsy (BMB) has a crucial role for the diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia (ET), both according to the PVSG and the WHO criteria. The WHO 2001 criteria enhanced the role of BMB also by distinguishing the true-ET (ET) from the prefibrotic and the early fibrotic chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis. The WHO 2008 criteria, in the JAK2 era, confirmed the diagnostic and prognostic relevance of the histopathological features in ET as well as in the other Ph-neg myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Otherwise, only few validated data are presently available, and the reproducibility in the evaluation of some morphological details is still con…
