Update on Neutropenia and the Use of Myeloid Growth Factors

s from the ASCO 40th Annual Meeting and the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC)/International Society for Oral Oncology (ISOO) 16th International Symposium, both held earlier this year. The frequency of neutropenia in clinical practice remains alarmingly high, and the complications in terms of inpatient hospitalization, morbidity, mortality, and economic cost from th...

Hemopoietic growth factors and oncogenes in myeloid leukemia development.

Most primary myeloid leukemias are dependent for proliferative stimulation on the glycoprotein colony-stimulating factors. These agents are therefore mandatory co-factors in the development of myeloid leukemia. The CSFs also modify oncogene transcription, and in model leukemogenesis experiments GM-CSF has been shown to be a proto-oncogene. However, most evidence is against an autocrine hypothes...

Blood Cell Growth Factors

  SUMMARY Growth factors or colony stimulating factors (CSFs)recently became the subject of headlines around the world. Many published articles in the last few years indicate that the CSFs can correct anemia and pancytopenia of the great majority of patients. Recombinant CSFs are available to the many scientific and therapeutic centers in the U.S.A, Europe and Japan these days. Erythrop oieti...
