Myelofibrosis In The Spotlight: Kapil

April 5, 2017 by Laura Watson

  • Myelofibrosis is a serious bone marrow disorder that disrupts your body’s normal production of blood cells. The result is extensive scarring in your bone marrow, leading to severe anemia, weakness, fatigue and often an enlarged spleen.
  • Myelofibrosis is an uncommon type of chronic leukemia-a cancer that affects the blood-forming tissues in the body. Myelofibrosis belongs to a group of diseases called myeloproliferative disorders.
