Demystifying Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are cancers of the blood and bone marrow. They start when something goes awry with hematopoietic stem cells—immature cells that can develop into any type of blood cell. Myeloid cells, also found in the bone marrow, can develop abnormalities as well. As cancerous cells tend to do, the affected blood cells proliferate, crowding out normal cells.

Arteries are blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. Oxygen-rich blood enters the aorta and is pumped out to the rest of the body via smaller arteries that branch out from it.
