Impact of thrombosis on disease progression, cancer and polycythemia vera

Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are characterized by a high incidence of arterial and venous thrombosis (AT, VT). Recent studies have reported that thrombotic events occurring after essential thrombocythemia (ET) or polycythemia vera (PV) diagnosis may play a role in the risk of mortality, disease progression and occurrence of second cancer (SC) during the follow-up
