Abstract
Polycythemia vera is a Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the clonal proliferation of hematopoietic cells, leading to the overproduction of erythrocytes and the elaboration of inflammatory cytokines. Management is aimed at reducing the risk of thromboembolic events, alleviating the symptom burden, decreasing splenomegaly, and potentially mitigating the risk of disease progression. Existing treatment options include therapeutic phlebotomy and cytoreductive agents including hydroxyurea, pegylated recombinant interferon alpha 2a, ropegylated recombinant interferon alpha 2b, and ruxolitinib. We review risk factors for both thrombotic events and disease progression in patients with polycythemia vera. We discuss existing and novel therapeutic approaches to mitigate the risk of disease-related complications and progression.
