Practical Guide for Managing Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in Pregnancy

Practical guidance helps safely manage blood cancer during pregnancy by weighing maternal and fetal risks thoughtfully.

This practical review synthesizes guidance for managing Philadelphia-negative MPNs during pregnancy, a high-risk clinical scenario with limited prospective evidence and competing maternal/fetal risks. The guide addresses risk stratification, medication safety, monitoring intensity, and obstetric planning for hematologists and obstetricians co-managing this rare but clinically challenging condition.
