Abstract
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasms characterized by impaired quality of life and severe complications. Despite the increasingly in-depth knowledge of this condition, it necessitates a multifaceted management approach to mitigate symptoms and prevent thrombotic and hemorrhagic events, ensuring prolonged survival. The therapeutic landscape has been revolutionized in recent years, where venesection and hydroxycarbamide associated with antiplatelet therapy have a central role and are now accompanied by other drugs, such as interferon and Janus kinase inhibitors. Ongoing research and advancements in targeted therapies hold promise for further enhancing the therapeutic choice for PV management.
