Abstract:
:In early studies, recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been found to reduce the depth and duration of granulocytopenia in the settings of cancer chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation. In patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or aplastic anemia. GM-CSF has produced increased marrow cellularity and marked leukocyte responses, and multilineage effects have been observed in some patients. The available data suggest that the use of GM-CSF in these settings is associated with a decreased incidence of infection as compared with that in historical controls or pretreatment periods and that it may enhance the ability to deliver optimal doses of cancer chemotherapy. Other findings suggest that GM-CSF may be useful in regulating host response to infection when used in combination with antimicrobial therapy in neutropenic patients. However, a precise determination of the ability of this agent to significantly affect patient morbidity or mortality in these various contexts awaits the results of larger, longer-term, randomized, controlled trials.
