Blood Clotting Risk in Blood Cancer Study

People with chronic blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) have a significantly increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and blood clots compared to the general population. This blood clot risk is only slightly reduced by current treatment. In this study, we are exploring blood tests that may help us learn why people with MPN clot and how current MPN treatment affects those blood tests. This is a blood draw-only study.
