What Types of Cancer May Benefit from Eltrombopag?
While eltrombopag is not a treatment for cancer itself, it is used in managing the side effects of cancer treatments. Patients with hematological malignancies such as leukemia and lymphoma, who are at particular risk of thrombocytopenia due to intensive chemotherapy, may benefit significantly from eltrombopag. It is also researched in other cancers for its role in supportive care.
