When to Initiate Therapy in Patients With MF

Author(s)Anthony Hunter, MD

Dr Anthony Hunter explains that the decision to initiate therapy in patients with myelofibrosis is individualized, considering factors like symptoms and risk stratification; early treatment with JAK inhibitors is crucial for symptom control, but allogeneic stem cell transplant remains the only potential curative therapy, particularly for higher-risk patients.
