Abstract

This report is based on the presentations and discussions at the 5 th annual BCR-ABL1 positive and BCR-ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) workshop, which took place immediately following the 52 nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting in Orlando, Florida on December 7 th-8 th, 2011. Relevant data which was presented at the ASH meeting as well as all other recent publications were presented and discussed at the workshop. This report covers front-line therapies of BCR-ABL1-positive leukemias, in addition to addressing some topical biological, pre-clinical and clinical issues, such as new insights into genomic instability and resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), risk stratification and optimizing molecular monitoring. A report pertaining to the new therapies and other pertinent preclinical and clinical issues in the BCR-ABL1 negative MPNs is published separately.
