After resection of lymph node positive breast cancer, the injection duration and timing of Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) could affect the neutropenia with TAC (Taxotere, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy.
The duration and the injection timing of G-CSF are effective in the prevention of neutropenia, incidence of infection and non hematologic toxicity. With the TAC chemotherapy after resection of breast cancer, the G-CSF early injection versus late injection could change the frequency of neutropenia.
