Initiation of the CSFs early in the first cycle of chemotherapy and continuation through all cycles of a chemotherapy regimen (primary prophylaxis) has been shown to substantially reduce the risk of FN as well as infection-related and early all-cause mortality, while decreasing the need for chemotherapy dose reductions and delays (10, 11). Furthermore, most of the pivotal trials of primary prophylaxis with CSFs permitted secondary prophylaxis after a neutropenic event in the control arms, providing reasonable evidence that primary prophylaxis is superior to secondary prophylaxis (10). There are also increasing data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with solid tumors and lymphoma on the potential value of CSF support of chemotherapy to improve overall survival (12).The clinical practice guidelines for CSF use from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)(13), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)(14), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)(11), along with guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA)(15), recommend consideration of primary prophylaxis with CSF in patients at 20% or greater risk of FN. One of the risk factors for FN noted by the guideline panels is the specific chemotherapy regimen reported in RCTs, which is often classified as high risk (> 20%), intermediate risk (10%–20%), or low risk (< 10%) for FN (11, 13, 14, 16, 17). Unfortunately, patients in RCTs are often highly selected, and toxicities, including FN, are frequently under reported (18). In addition, chemotherapy dose intensity and the use of prophylactic CSF or antibiotics are infrequently reported in RCTs, making it difficult to assess the true burden of neutropenic complications associated with a chemotherapy regimen (18).
