Myelofibrosis (MF) is a clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells characterized by altered bone marrow function and fibrosis. The aim of this narrative review is to report on the most recent epidemiologic data and to discuss features of MF and current strategies for the management of this condition in clinical practice. MF features covered by our review will include: characteristics of patients with MF; myeloproliferative and myelodepletive phenotypes; MF-associated thrombosis and bleeding; risk of infections; prefibrotic and overt PMF; secondary MF. Finally, we will discuss a few aspects of MF management in clinical practice and suggest strategies for its optimization and standardization. The focus of our paper is on Italy, but relevant data from other countries will also be reviewed.

January 2025
Department of Hematology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Background: Dexrazoxane has been studied for its ability to prevent anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction (AICD) in several trials but its use in clinical practice remains limited. This is related to the low to moderate quality of the generated evidence, safety concerns and restricted prescribing indications. Additional randomized trials are needed before this drug can be routinely integrated into cardio-oncology clinical practice.
