Dr. Aasim Sehbai answered

Specializes in Medical Oncology

ITP: It usually requires a short course of therapy and goes in remission and most patients do not need chronic long therapy. Usually if platelets are above 50, 000 and patients not bleeding, one can also stop therapy and start monitoring them.
