  • Overview

    Febrile neutropenia (FN) is characterized by a low absolute neutrophil count with fever, and it's a common complication in patients receiving certain types of chemotherapy. Fortunately, agents like granulocyte colony stimulating factors (G-CSFs) can be used for primary prophylaxis of FN because they stimulate the bone marrow to produce infection-fighting white blood cells called neutrophils. But which patients should be considered for primary prophylaxis with G-CSFs, and when should G-CSFs be administered? Joining Dr. Charles Turck to answer that and other key questions is Dr. Arielle Heeke.
