Ninja Nerds!
Welcome to the Ninja Nerd Podcast with Zach and Rob! In this episode, we explore Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, covering their pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management. We discuss Polycythemia Vera, Essential Thrombocythemia, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, and Primary Myelofibrosis, focusing on key mutations like JAK2, CALR, and BCR-ABL. Our discussion includes diagnostic tools such as peripheral blood smear, bone marrow biopsy, and laboratory markers like erythropoietin levels, leukocyte alkaline phosphatase, and BCR-ABL testing. We also review treatment options, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors, cytoreductive therapy, and JAK inhibitors, as well as complications like thrombosis, bleeding, and transformation to acute leukemia. This episode provides a high-yield review for exams and clinical practice. Enjoy the episode, and support us below!
