Abstract

The clinical usefulness of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (rhG-CSF, Filgrastim, GRAN) was evaluated in patients with leukopenia and neutropenia following chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, lung cancer and breast cancer. During chemotherapy when patients' leukocyte count (WBC) fell below 4.0 x 10(9)/L.rhG-CSF(GRAN) at a dose of 75 micrograms/body.day was given subcutaneously 48 hours after the termination of chemotherapy. The results indicated that rhG-CSF(GRAN) could elevate nadirs of WBC and significantly shortened leukopenic period with WBC below 4.0 x 10(9)/L and expedited the recovery of WBC. rhG-CSF (GRAN)'s side effects were mild.
