Abstract
M yeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including primary myelofibrosis and myelofibrosis (MF) evolving from a pre-existing MPN (post polycythemia veraand post essential thrombocythemia-myelofibrosis) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders with heterogeneous symptoms, mutational profile, transformation risk and prognosis. Given the potentially chronic disease course, the goal of therapy in MF is to alleviate associated signs and symptoms, including reduction in spleen size, weight gain, improved performance status, and control of constitutional symptoms, leading to a prolonged survival and reduced transformation to leukemia.
期刊介绍:
The Oral History Review, published by the Oral History Association, is the U.S. journal of record for the theory and practice of oral history and related fields. The journal’s primary mission is to explore the nature and significance of oral history and advance understanding of the field among scholars, educators, practitioners, and the general public. The Review publishes narrative and analytical articles and reviews, in print and multimedia formats, that present and use oral history in unique and significant ways and that contribute to the understanding of the nature of oral history and memory. It seeks previously unpublished works that demonstrate high-quality research and that offer new insight into oral history practice, methodology, theory, and pedagogy. Work published in the journal arises from many fields and disciplines, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of oral history. While based in the U.S., the Review reflects the international scope of the field and encourages work from international authors and about international topics.
