The standard treatment has been to watch and wait. Blood transfusions may be the reason for increased survival. Dr. Tefferi, what treatments have you prescribed that may account for the increased survival?

@74westy Good question but difficult to answer accurately. I suspect that most of the improvement comes with better supportive care and not necessarily from better drugs. Dr. Tefferi
