Three myeloproliferative neoplasms: An overview

Abstract

Abstract:A group of rare hematologic cancers, myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) evolve when bone marrow dysfunction causes overproduction of one or more blood cell types. This article explores the diagnosis, treatment, and nursing care of patients diagnosed with one of three classic MPNs: essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and primary myelofibrosis.
