The employees of the department have developed national clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Ph-negative myeloproliferative diseases (MPD), for the diagnosis and treatment of primary immune thrombocytopenia, and for the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy. Specialists of department are actively involved in the development of programs for molecular and morphohistochemical diagnostics, targeted therapy for Ph-negative MPDs, mastocytosis and primary immune thrombocytopenia.
