Background: Myelofibrosis is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by progressive bone marrow fibrosis and extramedullary hematopoiesis leading to splenomegaly. Progressive splenomegaly is common in advanced myelofibrosis, and spleen volume is a predictor of survival. The oral selective small-molecule JAK 1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib is used for symptomatic management of intermediate-2 and high-risk myelofibrosis, and leads to […]
