A new study tracking 30 patients with MPNs found that stable cases had steady DNA, while worsening cases showed dangerous mutations long before standard tests flagged anything. This breakthrough could enable precision medicine: using genetics to spot high-risk patients early and intervene before cancer takes hold — without rushing into aggressive treatments like transplants.
