We wanted to remind you about TeamMPN, a fun and interactive way to contribute to MPN research! Pick an event or host a party, and have people make donations to MPN Research Foundation in your honor. Click here to learn more today. 

Today the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) releases their MPN Patient guidelines. You can obtain an electronic copy here, download as a PDF, or purchase through Amazon. The MPN Research Foundation decided to contribute to the sponsorship of these guidelines because too often we speak to people with an MPN who are treated by doctors without sufficient experience treating other MPN patients and who are not as well versed in latest treatments and research as they can be. With these guidelines we hope that patients everywhere will have a better chance at meaningful communication with their physicians and a chance to better advocate for themselves. 

We're also sharing news about some new clinical trials that are currently recruiting patients. There are dozens of clinical trials ongoing for MPN now, and we are eager to see additional options for people with ET, PV and MF now as we pursue truly breakthrough and even curative options through our research programs. 

Sincerely,

Michelle Woehrle

Executive Director
