[Support of hematological homeostasis during chemotherapy with taxanes]

Abstract

Study group consisted of 84 oncological patients with various tumor localization that received chemotherapy with taxanes. Medium follow up was 32.1 +/- 2.1 months. All patients had morphologic verification of the process. Distribution according to tumor localization was as follows: breast cancer--60 (71.4%), ovarian cancer--13 (15.5%), lung cancer--7 (8.3%), other localizations--4 (4.8%). Age varied from 22 to 73 years old. All patients had normal hematological status and survival expectation more than 3 months. Hematological complications were mentioned after the first cycle of chemotherapy in 70% cases.
