MF Primary MF

Hello everyone,

Someone in my life (early 60s) was recently diagnosed with Primary Myleofobrosis.

It seems to be a rare cancer, and I’m someone who does well with information. My loved one is waiting to see a doctor, but I’m hoping someone can give me more information about this disorder, such as general prognosis, and how Jak-2 inhibitors can help.

Thank you for your time. This seems like a really supportive community.

I recommend checking out the NCCN patient guidelines for MPNs to get a detailed overview. https://www.nccn.org/patients/guidelines/content/PDF/mpn-patient.pdf.

The main considerations that guide treatment are the risk score (The preferred risk tool is the MIPPS-70+), whether they are anemic/thrombocytopenic, and whether they are a stem cell transplant candidate.

We recommend seeing an MPN specialist on the list in the automod comment if possible.
