During the 14th International Congress of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, the MPN Hub was pleased to speak to Ruben Mesa, UT Health San Antonio, San Antonio, US. We asked, How do symptoms inform treatment decisions in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN)?
How do symptoms inform treatment decisions in MPN?
Mesa opens by remarking on the range of different symptoms patients with MPN may experience and the effects these differing symptoms may have on disease presentation and progression. Mesa comments on symptoms as a marker of health-related quality of life and their subsequent use in informing the decision to initiate or alter treatment.
Mesa concludes by reiterating the importance of improving symptoms and quality of life as a cornerstone of treatment.
