Hematological predictors of thrombotic risk or disease progression in essential thrombocythemia

Hannah Goulart, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses a retrospective study investigating hematological parameters in essential thrombocythemia (ET). The study found no parameters associated with thrombotic risk but found that a lower platelet count correlated with an increased risk of developing post-ET blast-phase or myelofibrosis. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
