Myelofibrosis

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a rare blood cancer that leads to scarring in the bone marrow, which prevents the normal production of blood cells. The condition is a primary subtype of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and, in some cases, start as another MPN, like polycythemia vera (PV) or essential thrombocythemia (ET), and later evolve into myelofibrosis.
