Blast Phase of Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Resembles Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myelodysplasia-Related, in Clinical Presentation, Cytogenetic Pattern, and Genomic Profile, and Often Undergoes Reversion to Second Chronic Phase Status After Induction Chemotherapy

CONCLUSIONS.—: MPN-blast phase resembles acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplasia-related, in cytogenetic pattern, mutation profile, and clinical outcome. Two patterns of clonal evolution are inferred by dynamic analysis of mutation profiles: linear and parallel evolutions. Although overall survival was dismal, 62.5% of our cases achieved second chronic phase, and they showed better survival than those without second chronic phase.PMID:38426696 | DOI:10.5858/arpa.2023-0363-OA
