The prefibrotic phase of primary myelofibrosis (pre-PMF) represents a distinct subentity within the spectrum of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Consensus Classification (ICC). Pre-PMF is characterized by unique morphological, clinical, and molecular features, distinguishing it from essential thrombocythemia (ET) and overt myelofibrosis (overt-PMF). The diagnostic process for pre-PMF relies on bone marrow histology, identification of molecular mutations and exclusion of other myeloid neoplasms.

Purpose: In response to this survey, an interdisciplinary task force was formed by CNPs, CNSs, and PAs across departmental specialty divisions to conduct focus groups to gain a deeper understanding of workplace experience both prepandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
