The Benefits of Jakafi for Patients With PV

Article

Patients with PV tend to be very symptomatic, but Jakafi can help.

Jeanne M. Palmer, M.D., hematologist oncologist at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona discusses the benefit of Jakafi (ruxolitinib) for patients with polycythemia vera (PV) — a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm.

Patients with PV tend to be very symptomatic, and Jakafi provides good symptom control compared to some other PV treatments that have their own set of risks and side effects.
