摘要
The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) has updated its 2006 guideline on the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for the prevention of febrile neutropenia (FN), a sometimes fatal condition in which a loss of neutrophils in patients receiving chemotherapy leads to infections and fever. The guideline provides recommendations on the assessment of risk factors for FN, and the choice of G-CSF formulation.
