Description
Andrew Brunner commented in 2026 on a study linking total cholesterol to outcomes in a family of blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms. The study covered patients with three forms of the disease who were not on cholesterol-lowering statins. Higher total cholesterol tracked with worse outcomes, including major heart events.
Brunner puts the finding in context. These cancers share clotting and heart risks, yet patients differ hugely: some live near-normal lives while others need close watch. A cheap blood value that helps sort those paths, he suggests, earns a place in routine care.
