How do you choose between peginterferon and anagrelide for ET patients if hydroxyurea-intolerant?

This is largely dependent on the patient. I generally prefer to use peginterferon, however, have a discussion with the patient outlining the options. Anegrelide isn't well tolerated in general, but peginterferon can also have negative side effects and may be too costly.
