The goal of treatment for ET and PV is prevention of thrombohemorrhagic complications. The goal of treatment for MF is amelioration of anemia, splenomegaly, and other symptoms. Low-dose aspirin is effective in PV and ET. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors like imatinib have improved the prognosis of CML patients to near-normal life expectancy. [14]
In the U.S., life expectancy increased from 79.2 to 80.7 years in women, and from 74.1 to 76.3 years in men; The study found a global life expectancy of 72.5 years — but only 63.3 of those years ...
The disorder may be caused either by a genetic disorder or indirectly as part of myelodysplastic syndrome, [2] which can develop into hematological malignancies (especially acute myeloid leukemia). Sideroblasts ( sidero- + -blast ) are nucleated erythroblasts (precursors to mature red blood cells) with granules of iron accumulated in the ...
