Diagnosed with an MPN? Consider a Second Opinion and See an Expert!
Being seen by a physician that is both an expert in a specific condition and getting an "in person" second opinion from that physician are often essential to receiving the best care.
Because Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) are uncommon and treatment is evolving it is important to find physicians who have experience and are focused on improving treatment. In the United States there are physicians dedicated to advancing the treatment of Polycythemia, Myelofibrosis, and Essential Thrombocythemia. Patients should at least consider getting an “in person” second opinion by one of these experts.
The physicians listed below all have expertise in managing MPN's and are the ones most likely to be performing clinical trials which are an important component of moving MPN treatment forward. Click here to learn more about second opinions.
