Abstract
Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common and serious complication among cancer patients undergoing myelosuppressive chemotherapy. FN should be treated as a medical emergency because it can lead to life-threatening complications if appropriate treatment is not initiated immediately. This study provides a critical review on the current management of FN and identifies possible directions to optimize FN management.Entities:
