Implication

Perspective review demonstrates chronic inflammation drives clonal evolution and vascular disease in myeloproliferative neoplasms, suggesting early anti-inflammatory intervention benefits.

Key Points

To evaluate chronic inflammation as a unifying driver of clonal evolution, premature atherosclerosis, and secondary malignancy development in Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Reviewed pathogenic links connecting sustained inflammatory signaling with clonal evolution in essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and primary myelofibrosis.
Assessed theoretical and clinical mechanisms through which disease-related chronic inflammation promotes premature vascular damage and transformation to secondary cancers.
Evaluated early therapeutic anti-inflammatory regimens, specifically targeting pathways via statins and interferon-alpha2.
Chronic inflammation functions as both an initiator and continuous catalyst of clonal expansion, promoting progression toward advanced myelofibrosis and leukemic transformation.
Sustained inflammatory activity accelerates vascular damage, driving premature atherosclerosis and heightened rates of secondary malignancies in myeloproliferative disorders.
Early therapeutic administration of interferon-alpha2 and statins is proposed to temper systemic inflammation, restrain clonal expansion, and diminish long-term cardiovascular risks.
