Myeloproliferative Disease
The
myeloproliferative diseases
are a group of diseases of the
bone marrow
where excess cells are produced. The delineation from
leukemia
is artificial, although the myeloproliferative diseases on the whole have a better prognosis than the leukemias. The myeloproliferative diseases are:
Chronic myelogenous leukemia
(CML)
Polycythemia vera
(PCV)
Essential thrombocytosis
(ET)
Myelofibrosis
(increased connective tissue with decreased room for production of normal blood cells).
All MPDs arise from precursors of the "myeloid" lineage in the bone marrow. The lymphoid lineage may produce similar diseases, the
lymphoproliferative disorders
(
acute lymphoblastic leukemia
,
lymphomas
and
chronic lymphocytic leukemia
).
