What is the Prognosis for Patients with Myeloproliferative Disorders?
The prognosis of MPDs depends on the specific disorder and its stage at diagnosis. Chronic myeloid leukemia has a favorable prognosis with targeted therapy. Polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia have a relatively good prognosis with appropriate management. Primary myelofibrosis has a variable prognosis, often depending on the degree of fibrosis and the presence of other complications.
