Abstract

Essential thrombocythaemia is a myeloproliferative disorder characterised by both thrombotic and haemorrhagic events. Proper diagnosis enables administration of adequate therapeutic regimens, which can prevent occurrence of further thrombotic episodes. Treatment mainly involves cytoreductive and antiplatelet drugs administered in high-risk patients. New therapeutic agents modulating JAK2 kinase activity can possibly be used in the future.
