We’re all about helping Canadians who want to learn about or who are impacted by the different blood disorders know together as Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, or MPNs.

What are MPNs?

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) is the name given to a group of conditions sometimes referred to as blood cancers.

MPNs originate in the bone marrow – the soft tissue in the middle of the bones where blood cells are made. In a healthy person, bone marrow makes blood stem cells that, in time, develop into mature blood cells – red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets.
