It is one of a related group of blood cancers known as âmyeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)â in which bone marrow cells that produce the blood cells develop and function abnormally. 2  The resulting fibrous scar tissue formation leads to severe anemia, weakness, fatigue and an enlarged spleen and liver.
