    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by excessive red blood cell production.
    • Understanding the clinical course and prognostic factors in PV is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present clinical experience with polycythemia vera.
    • To identify factors contributing to disease progression and patient survival.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 20 patients diagnosed with polycythemia vera.
    • Detailed review of clinical data, laboratory values, and treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Patients exhibited high hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) levels, elevated white blood cell (WBC) counts, and high platelet counts.
    • Significant personal and hereditary pathological antecedents were noted.
    • The erythroid clone demonstrated slow evolutive potential, enabling a prolonged near-normal quality of life.
    • Differentiated therapy based on disease stage resulted in long-term survival exceeding 17 years.

    Conclusions:

    • Polycythemia vera can have a slow clinical course, influenced by genetic predisposition.
    • Personalized and stage-specific therapeutic approaches are key to achieving long survival in PV patients.
