PATIENTS WITH ≥ 20 X 109/L PLATELETS AT BASELINE MAY HAVE A PROMPT RESPONSE TO ROMIPLOSTIM DURING THE EARLY PHASE OF TREATMENT: AN ITALIAN SINGLE-INSTITUTION EXPERIENCE

PATIENTS WITH ≥ 20 X 109/L PLATELETS AT BASELINE MAY HAVE A PROMPT RESPONSE TO ROMIPLOSTIM DURING THE EARLY PHASE OF TREATMENT: AN ITALIAN SINGLE-INSTITUTION EXPERIENCE
