Is Fibrosis a Reliable Marker for Myelofibrosis? – Dr. Verstovsek Explains

🩸 Does measuring fibrosis levels truly predict outcomes for Myelofibrosis patients?

In this insightful discussion, MPN expert Dr. Verstovsek from MD Anderson Cancer Center provides a surprising perspective on the role of fibrosis in Myelofibrosis and whether it should be considered a key marker for patient outcomes.

📌 Key Topics Covered:

Is fibrosis a reliable indicator for Myelofibrosis prognosis?
Does a reduction in fibrosis correlate with better outcomes?
Why anemia, spleen size, and symptoms may be more critical markers
The need for new clinically relevant parameters in Myelofibrosis research
While fibrosis has been considered an important biological parameter, research suggests that its changes may not directly impact survival, anemia, or symptom improvement. This raises critical questions about what truly defines success in Myelofibrosis treatment.
