Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">The objectives of this research project are to study in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and Essential Thrombocythemia (ET); (1) the uptake patterns of 18FLT-PET (FLT-PET) and its value in diagnosing, staging, and treatment response monitoring of malignant hematopoiesis, (2) compare imaging findings from FLT-PET with bone marrow biopsy (standard of care), and (3) associate FLT-PET uptake patterns with genetic makeup such as JAK2 (Janus kinase 2), CALR (Calreticulin), MPL (myeloproliferative leukemia protein), Triple negative disease, and allele burden.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Medicine<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000023088" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/md.0000000000023088</a></p><p dir="ltr">Additional institutions affiliated with: PET-CT Center for Diagnosis and Research - HMC</p>
