Chronic clonal hematologic disorders, such as myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), lie at the intersection between malignancy and chronic inflammatory disease. Chronic inflammation is responsible for many of the clinical consequences of MPN. Diet is a central tenant of management of chronic conditions characterized by subclinical inflammation, such as cardiovascular disease, but has not entered the treatment algorithm for clonal hematologic disorders. Here, we establish that a Mediterranean diet intervention is feasible in the MPN patient population and can improve symptom burden. These findings warrant large dietary interventions in patients with clonal hematologic disorders to test the utility of diet in improvement of clinical outcomes.
