Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment in Turkey
About Myeloproliferative Disorder
Key Highlights
-
Personalized, long-term management plan tailored to the specific type of MPD and individual patient risk.Aims to effectively control blood cell counts and alleviate symptoms like fatigue, itching, or abdominal discomfort.Focuses on reducing the significant risk of life-threatening complications such as blood clots, stroke, or hemorrhage.May involve targeted therapies like JAK inhibitors that specifically address the underlying genetic mutations.Ongoing monitoring allows for timely adjustment of treatment to manage disease progression and improve quality of life.
Who is this surgery for?
- Unexplained and persistent elevation in red blood cells (polycythemia), platelets (thrombocytosis), or white blood cells.
- Symptoms such as severe fatigue, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, fever, bone pain, or early satiety (feeling full quickly).
- Enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) or liver, often detected during a physical exam or imaging.
- History of abnormal blood clots (thrombosis), especially in unusual sites, or excessive bleeding/bruising.
- Abnormal findings on a routine complete blood count (CBC) that suggest a bone marrow disorder.
How to prepare
- Detailed review of personal and family medical history and a thorough physical examination by the hematologist.
- Completion of initial blood tests, including a complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel, and often genetic testing.
- For a bone marrow biopsy, patients may be asked to stop certain blood-thinning medications beforehand, as advised by their doctor.
- Fasting may be required for a few hours if sedation is planned for the bone marrow procedure.
- Arranging for transportation home after any procedures involving sedation or anesthesia.
Risks & possible complications
- Disease progression to more aggressive phases, including transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), particularly in myelofibrosis.
- High risk of thrombotic events (strokes, heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis) or hemorrhagic events (bleeding).
- Side effects from long-term medications, which can include lowered blood counts, liver toxicity, or increased infection risk.
- Complications from an enlarged spleen, such as pain, portal hypertension, or cytopenias.
- Risks specific to bone marrow biopsy, including pain, bleeding, bruising, or infection at the site.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Management is chronic and lifelong, requiring regular follow-up visits (every 3-6 months typically) for blood tests and clinical assessment.
- Post-biopsy, the site should be kept clean and dry for 24 hours; mild soreness may persist for a few days.
- Patients are educated to monitor for and report new symptoms like severe headaches, chest pain, shortness of breath, or unexplained bleeding.
- Adherence to the prescribed medication regimen is critical for controlling the disease and preventing complications.
- Lifestyle modifications, such as staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking, are recommended to support overall health and reduce thrombotic risk.

As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with rare Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, I'd consulted specialists across Europe with no clear treatment path. Dr. Shimoni's revolutionary approach using targeted immunotherapy not only put my cancer in remission but allowed me to continue my fieldwork in Jordan just three months later.
