Background: Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the accumulation of neoplastic mast cells (MC) in one or more extracutaneous organs. In all forms of SM, anti-mediator drugs are used to control symptoms of MC degranulation. In advanced forms of SM, organ damage is common and patients (pts) exhibit reduced life expectancy. In these individuals, cytoreductive agents such as cladribine and interferon-alpha have been used off-label, and inhibitors of KIT… CONTINUE READING
