Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a rare bone marrow blood cancer. [1] It is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm , a group of cancers in which there is activation and growth of mutated cells in the bone marrow .
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors like imatinib have improved the prognosis of CML patients to near-normal life expectancy. [14] Recently, a JAK2 inhibitor, namely ruxolitinib, has been approved for use in primary myelofibrosis. [15] Trials of these inhibitors are in progress for the treatment of the other myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Most doctors accept Medicare. If a doctor accepts assignment, it means they have a formal agreement with Medicare to accept the Medicare-approved amount as full payment for all covered services.
Bone biopsy shows abnormal megakaryocytes, macrocytic erythropoiesis, and defects in neutrophil production and fibrosis of the marrow (myelofibrosis). Clinically, patients present with reduction in the count of all blood cells (pancytopenia), very few blasts in the peripheral blood, and no or little spleen enlargement (splenomegaly).
Prefibrotic primary myelofibrosis (Pre-PMF) is a rare blood cancer, classified by the World Health Organization as a distinct type of myeloproliferative neoplasm in 2016.
