While G-CSF is a widely used and effective treatment, there are alternatives for managing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. These include:
Adjusting the chemotherapy dose or schedule. Using antibiotics prophylactically to prevent infections. Exploring other growth factors or supportive care measures.
However, these alternatives may not be as effective as G-CSF in certain situations, and the choice of treatment should be individualized based on the patient's specific needs and circumstances.
