A previous thrombotic event and advanced age are well-known risk factors for thrombosis in essential thrombocythemia (ET). In these patients, therefore, cytotoxic drugs are needed to reduce platelet count. In spite of this convincing idea, in clinical practice, some old patients do not use platelet-reducing drugs, for a variety of causes, and few specific studies in old patients with ET are available. Our retrospective study reports single-center experience in 54 old ET patients with long follow-ups.
