The experts reviewed promising results of recent studies, including telomerase inhibitors, antifibrotic treatments, the long-term benefit of the JAK inhibitor, ruxolitinib, as well as news about the promise of early intervention. Also discussed were observational studies and how these studies are providing experts with better understanding of the disease. The experts stressed the importance of balancing treatment choices with management of quality of life for patients. Listen to this discussion for a hopeful look at the future of MPN treatment and developing research.
