MPNRF’s MPN Patient Bill of Rights helps establish and promote awareness of core elements central to quality MPN patient care. Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) includes three closely related chronic blood cancers: Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), Polycythemia Vera (PV), and Myelofibrosis (MF). All three have signs and symptoms that vary in occurrence and severity and may progress over time.
People who receive a rare MPN diagnosis may feel isolated and fearful of shortened life. But many can lead a fulfilling life with a substantial life expectancy. For the best possible outcomes and peace of mind, patients must learn about their disease and participate actively in their care. For example:
