Abstract:

Neutropenia is the most common hematologic toxicity of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for malignant tumor patients, which can lead to follow-up treatment delay and/or dose reduction, induce febrile neutropenia and severe infection easily, thus affecting prognosis and safety of patients. It is important to prevent and manage neutropenia in patients with malignant tumors during concurrent chemoradiotherapy reasonably. As a long-acting preparation of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) can prevent and treat neutropenia, which is more convenient for clinical practice. In order to promote clinical rational administration of drugs, Radiation Oncology Treatment Physician Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Radiation Oncology Therapy Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Chinese Association of Radiation Therapy of China Anti-Cancer Association consulted guidelines and the latest evidence-based evidences related to PEG-rhG-CSF, evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the application of PEG-rhG-CSF during concurrent chemoradiotherapy, clarified the clinical pathway and administration route of prevention and treatment and then formed a Chinese experts' consensus on the application of PEG-rhG-CSF during concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Key words: Chemoradiotherapy, Neutropenia, PEG-rhG-CSF, Clinical consensus
