The Efficacy and Safety of PEG-rhG-CSF in Preventing Chemotherapy-induced Neutropenia

Neutrophilic granulocytopenias is one of the most common and most serious complications in chemotherapy. Research shows that about 25% \~ 40% in patients receiving standard chemotherapy can appear neutropenia with fever. It can increase the risk of infection and Chemotherapy related death, and lead to the delay of chemotherapy, and maybe Reduce the curative effect of chemotherapy.

Therefore, how to reduce the frequency of RhG-CSF injections and more effectively prevent neutropenia more effectively, on the premise of ensure the safety of patients to achieve better effect of chemotherapy, has always been the focus of the clinical problem. Pegylated recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(PEG-rhG-CSF) is a first class national new drug developed by domestic pharmaceutical companies.

The patients need only one injection for PEG-rhG-CSF each Cycle of chemotherapy, and the effect of rising white blood cell is more smoothly, and it can avoid pain of repeated injection of PEG-rhG-CSF
