Abstract
We randomized 66 elderly patients with AML unfit for conventional chemotherapy to receive GCSF from d6 or from d12 after induction-chemotherapy with cytarabine/idarubicin. There was no difference in duration of neutropenia (17 days vs. 19 days, p=0.67) or rate of complications. Delayed treatment can reduce the administration of G-CSF without adverse consequences.Entities:
