Misnomer & reason: Neoplasia , new cell growth , the frightening term cancer in relatively benign conditions. In this case of myelofibrosis , progression does not take naive benign course , will take lethal destructive course on bone marrow , the sap of life , all functional cells of bone marrow replaced by fibrous collagen tissue, may not be called malignancy , acts like ca , treated like ca , follow drs advise.
