What Are the Benefits of Using G-CSF in Cancer Patients?
The primary benefit of G-CSF is the reduction in the duration and severity of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. This leads to fewer _infections_, decreased need for hospitalization, and lessened use of antibiotics. Additionally, maintaining a higher neutrophil count allows patients to stay on their treatment schedules without delays or dose reductions, which can be crucial for the efficacy of the therapy.
