How is myelofibrosis (MF) managed and treated? — Expert Video
Dr. Anand Patel, MD, explains how myelofibrosis (MF) is managed and treated across different stages of the disease. He discusses early MF, sometimes called prefibrotic or cellular-phase disease, where blood counts may be high and treatment may focus on symptom relief or careful monitoring. Dr. Patel provides an overview of current standard treatments, including JAK inhibitors, which can reduce spleen size and improve symptoms but are not curative. He explains that stem cell transplant is currently the only potential cure, though it is reserved for selected patients based on disease risk, overall health, and donor availability. Dr. Patel also describes treatment goals, lifestyle considerations during watchful waiting, and the importance of ongoing communication between patients and their care teams when making treatment decisions.
