Abstract excerpt
The commonest types of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) have remarkably similar recurrent chromosome abnormalities, but with varying incidence and prognostic implications. After a clear decade of treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the differing prognostic implications of abnormalities additional to the Ph chromosome are being revealed. This chapter provides a description...
