| Abstract: | This section about chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPDs) is from a comprehensive reference book that covers the full spectrum of cancers in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. CMPDs are characterized by the chronic proliferation of one or more of the three hematopoietic cell lines or by marrow stromal cells, in various proportions. The CMPDs include polycythemia vera, idiopathic myelofibrosis, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and essential thrombocytosis (ET). This section offers six chapters: epidemiology, risk factors, and classification; molecular biology, pathology, and cytogenetics; clinical features and making the diagnosis; the recommended treatment approach to polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia; the recommended approach to chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis, with extramedullary hematopoiesis; and the management of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and other rare myeloproliferative disorders. The chapters are illustrated with black-and-white clinical pictures and photomicrographs. Each chapter concludes with an extensive list of references. |
