New Study Confirms Consistent Risk of Myelosuppression Across All Patients Receiving Chemotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer
“Chemotherapy remains an effective cornerstone treatment for patients with small cell lung cancer; unfortunately, chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression is a known common and debilitating complication associated with these cytotoxic regimens,” said Norman Nagl, Ph.D., Vice President of Medical Affairs at G1 Therapeutics.

- The poster, titled, “An Analysis of Patient Characteristics Associated With Myelosuppression Among Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated in US Community Cancer Care Practices” is available in the scientific publications section of G1’s website.
- Adult patients diagnosed with SCLC who received chemotherapy between 2016 and 2018 and had longitudinal laboratory data were included in this study.
- In addition, multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to examine association between patient characteristics and risk of myelosuppression in each lineage (anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia).
