A case of JAK2V617F-positive essential thrombocythemia where allele burden was reduced by a PD-1 inhibitor

[paul.et1996]

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a relatively new treatment and is already being given in a number of Hospitals worldwide. The natural immune response against cancer cells is enhanced and manipulated with drugs. This immunotherapy is already considered as a first-line treatment for various types of cancer. I personally expect that this new therapy will become the solution for our mpn clones.

This is the first report demonstrating the effectiveness of Pembrolizumab in a MPN patiënt with the JAK2V617F mutation:

I saw there is already more evidence:

(In the Netherlands) the immune checkpointblockade therapy is already being used for a number of cancer types.. This could make it available for MPN more quickly.
