Myelofibrosis and Splenomegaly 89% of MF with palpable splenomegaly (at diagnosis) Multi-institutional database of 1054 patients at time of diagnosis of PMF (Cervantes et. al. Blood 2009) 64% with palpable splenomegaly (By physician report) Median spleen size 7.4 cm BLCM International prospective MPN symptom study N=329 MF patients (Emanuel et. al. JCO 2012) ©2011 MFMER | 3133089-9

Why does splenomegaly in MF matter? Mechanical discomfort Pain Possible splenic infarction Early satiety adding to cachexia Splenic sequestration and exacerbation of cytopenias May delay engraftment in setting of allogeneic stem cell transplant ©2011 MFMER | 3133089-10
