Anand Patel, MD, University of Chicago Medical Center, Chicago, IL, discusses the potential role of interferon in accelerated/blast-phase myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN-AP/BP). While he states that the role of interferon may be limited in the treatment of MPN-AP/BP, Dr Patel examines the potential of interferon for the prevention of disease. He suggests anticlonal therapies, including interferon-based therapies, could be used in high-risk chronic-phase MPNs to prevent the progression of disease into AP/BP. This interview took place at the 1st Annual MPN Workshop of the Carolinas in Asheville, NC.
