Hello @milanp, I recommend checking out the brief discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-myeloid-leukemia-1/. There may be some members in that conversation that can help provide their experiences and thoughts.

A recently diagnosis of Essential Thrombocythemia, I am interested in knowing whether stem cell therapy is a treatment option?
I understand that the only way to deal with this condition is to manage it, but many folks have asked me whether this is an option - and I con't know.

PS
Is a bone marrow transplant a treatment option for ET?

Hello @shenriq, you may find this information useful, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/essential-thrombocythemia/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20361131. Mayo Clinic says,

"Treatment of essential thrombocythemia depends on your risk of blood-clotting or bleeding episodes. If you're younger than 60 and have had no signs or symptoms, you may simply need periodic medical checkups.

Your doctor may prescribe medication if:

- You're older than 60 and have had previous blood clots or TIAs
- You have cardiovascular risk factors, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes"

According to the above Mayo Clinic source, "Although there's no cure for essential thrombocythemia, there are treatments available. And, lifespan is expected to be normal despite the disease." It goes on to say that you must monitor for other possible complications that could be caused by ET.
