Approaching patients with MF who are ineligible for SCT 

Peter te Boekhorst, MD, PhD, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, discusses the management of patients with myelofibrosis (MF) who are ineligible for stem cell transplantation (SCT). Patients without any symptoms can be monitored until intervention is needed. Splenomegaly is treated with JAK inhibitors, and anemia can be managed with medications to elevate hemoglobin levels. The main challenge is low platelet counts, for which no effective medications currently exist. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
