Описание к видео Is the level of fibrosis a reliable marker in myelofibrosis?

MPN Expert, Dr. Verstovsek from MD Anderson Cancer Center provides a surprising answer on the importance of measuring fibrosis in myelofibrosis patients.

The video discusses whether the level of fibrosis is a reliable marker for myelofibrosis. While improvements in biological parameters like fibrosis are thought to be connected with better patient outcomes, a study showed that changes in fibrosis levels did not correlate with improvements in anemia, spleen size, symptoms, or overall survival. This suggests that fibrosis may not be an important marker for patient outcomes, and researchers need to find other parameters that are more clinically relevant.
