Abdulraheem Yacoub, MD In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Abdulraheem Yacoub of The University of Kansas Cancer Center to discuss myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), a group of rare blood cancers that affect how blood cells are produced. We explore what MPNs are, the most common types, and the signs and symptoms that lead to diagnosis. We also answer real questions from members of our MPN online chat community, covering topics like life expectancy, genetic mutations, and managing side effects. Finally, we discuss current treatment options, emerging therapies, and share a message of hope for patients and their loved ones. DOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPT CLICK HERE to participate in our episode survey.
