The Classic Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

So What Should We Do?

October 2011

So what should we do? I think it’s clearly appropriate for laboratories and pathologists to develop laboratory utilization guidelines and algorithms for ancillary studies in hematologic diseases, to have test review processes in place, and to be sure that reports contain appropriate content and clinical relevance, all with the goal of reducing unnecessary testing and performing appropriate testing.
