Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Myeloid metaplasia is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by bone marrow fibrosis and extramedullary hematopoiesis.
  • Patients often present with anemia, thrombocytopenia, and significant organomegaly, leading to complications like infarction.
  • Current treatments aim to manage symptoms and slow disease progression, but reversal of marrow fibrosis is challenging.
