MPNs Flashcards
4 Most common driver mutations seen in MPNs
JAK2 V617F
CALR
JAK2 exon 12
MPL
WHO Diagnostic Criteria for PV
Hb >16.5 for men or >16 in women OR
Hct >49% or 48%
Presence of JAK2 V617F mutation (or other similar mut)
Hypercellular BM with panmyelosis
Hypercellular Bone marrow with panmyelosis and a JAK2 V617F mutation is suggestive of which MPN?
PV
What makes a patient with PV high risk? (2)
Age >60
Thrombosis history
How do we treat high risk PV?
Aspirin 81
Hydrea
How do we treat lower risk PV?
low dose aspirin alone
Phlebotomy for Hct <45%
How do we treat high risk PV that is intolerant or resistant to hydrea?
Ruxolitinib
What is another cytoreductive treatment option for high risk PV aside from hydrea?
Pegylated Interferon (Repeginterferon)
Diagnostic Criteria for ET
Sustained platelet >450
Megakaryocytic hyperplasia on BM
Presence of JAK2, CALR, or MPL mut
Not meeting criteria for other MPN
What are the three most common driver mutations in ET?
JAK2 V617F
CALR exon 9 indel
MPL exon 10 mutation
How do we risk stratify for thrombosis in ET?
Age >60 (1)
CV RFs (1)
Previous thrombosis (2)
JAK2 V617F (2)
Low risk = 0-1
Intermediate = 2
High risk = 3+
When do we add cytoreduction for ET?
Thrombotic event
Age >60
Uncontrolled symptoms in low-risk
Diagnostic criteria for primary myelofibrosis
Major: (need all)
Megakaryocytic proliferation with reticulin/collagen fibrosis
Presence of JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation or another clonal marker
Not meeting WHO criteria for other MPN
Minor: (need 1)
Anemia
Leukocytosis
Palpable splenomegaly
LDH > ULN
Leukoerythroblastosis
Treatment of asymptomatic low risk MF
Observation
Treatment for low risk MF with anemia
ESAs
Treatment for low risk MF with symptomatic splenomegaly
HU
Treatment for int-1 risk MF with symptomatic splenomegaly
HU
Treatment for asymptomatic Int-1 risk
Observation
