    Pegfilgrastim is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in people with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with a clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia; and to increase survival in people acutely exposed to myelosuppressive doses of radiation (hematopoietic subsyndrome of acute ...

  8. ABVD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABVD

    The number of cycles given depends upon the stage of the disease and how well the patient tolerates chemotherapy. Doses may be delayed because of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or other side effects. [citation needed] A FDG PET scan is commonly advised following the completion of ABVD to assess response to the therapy. Interim PET (following 2 ...
