New Markers of Disease Progression in Myelofibrosis
Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm due to the clonal proliferation of a hematopoietic stem cell. The vast majority of patients harbor a somatic gain of function mutation either of <i>JAK2</i> or <i>MPL</i> or <i>CALR</i> genes in their he...

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm due to the clonal proliferation of a hematopoietic stem cell. The vast majority of patients harbor a somatic gain of function mutation either of <i>JAK2</i> or <i>MPL</i> or <i>CALR</i> genes in their hematopoietic cells, resulting in the activation of the JAK/STAT pathway. Patients display variable clinical and laboratoristic features, including anemia, thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly, thrombotic complications, systemic symptoms, and curtailed survival due to infections, thrombo-hemorrhagic events, or progression to leukemic transformation. New drugs have been developed in the last decade for the treatment of PMF-associated symptoms; however, the only curative option is currently represented by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, which can only be offered to a small percentage of patients. Disease prognosis is based at diagnosis on the classical International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) and Dynamic-IPSS (during disease course), which comprehend clinical parameters; recently, new prognostic scoring systems, including genetic and molecular parameters, have been proposed as meaningful tools for a better patient stratification.
