In this episode of the SOHO Insider podcast, Andrew Kuykendall, MD, assistant member at Moffitt Cancer Center, and Douglas Tremblay, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, discuss how to approach the treatment of essential thrombocythemia.
“The first thing I do whenever a patient walks into the clinic with ET is think about their risk status,” Dr. Tremblay said. “When we speak about risk status, what we’re really speaking about is risk of thrombosis. There’s several different risk stratification methods, but they all rely on three clinical factors in general, which is age of prior thrombosis, which is probably the most potent risk factor.”
This episode also includes a discussion on the SURPASS-ET trial, which showed ropeginterferon alfa-2b outperformed anagrelide for disease control. Plus, a look into how new CALR-targeted antibodies improve bone marrow in early studies.
