Hello, PV (polycythaemia vera), ET (essential thrombocythaemia) and MF (myelofibrosis) are all types of MPN, myeloproliferative neoplasms, which are chronic diseases affecting the bone marrow, people with MPNs produce too many mature blood cells, MPNs are classed as a type of cancer as neoplasm (new growth) is a term that has been used both for cancers (malignant neoplasms) and non-cancerous tumours (benign neoplasms).
