Polycythemia vera is characterized amongst the group of blood cancers called as myeloproliferative neoplasms. It is a slowly -growing blood cancer where bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. Excess production of red blood cells make the blood thicker. Blood clot formation lead to heart stroke.
