Mutation-enhanced international prognostic systems (MIPSS) for polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) have improved prognostic assessments. In the case of overt primary myelofibrosis (PMF), the MIPSS70 and its later revisions (MIPSS70+ and MIPSS70+ version 2.0) effectively predicted the overall survival (OS) of patients. Because post-PV and post-ET myelofibrosis have different biological and clinical courses compared to overt PMF, the myelofibrosis secondary to PV and ET-prognostic model was developed. Although these molecular-inspired prognostic models need to be further validated in future studies, they are expected to improve the prognostic power in patients with MPNs in the molecular era. Efforts are being made to predict survival after the use of specific drugs or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These treatment outcome prediction models enable the establishment of personalized treatment strategies, thereby improving the OS of patients with MPNs.</p>","PeriodicalId":46224,"journal":{"name":"Blood Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/44/4e/br-58-s1-s37.PMC10133848.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9510857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
