“These findings provide strategies for new ways to manage these & potentially other blood cancers.”
Read “How Interferon Changes Cancerous Blood Stem Cells” to learn more about research by Dr. Anna Nam & her team to benefit patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.

The biologic drug interferon-alpha can benefit patients with blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms by forcing mutant blood stem cells to become shorter-lived white blood cells, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
