G-CSF Alone or Combination With GM-CSF on Prevention and Treatment of Infection in Children With Malignant Tumor

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a hematopoietic CSFs that decrease the duration and severity of neutropenia for patients receiving chemotherapy. GM-CSF is a stimulator of the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells committed to neutrophils, monocytes or eosinophils.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic CSFs that decrease the duration and severity of neutropenia for patients receiving chemotherapy. G-CSF is a relatively specific stimulator of the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells committed to the neutrophil lineage.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are hematopoietic CSFs that decrease the duration and severity of neutropenia for patients receiving chemotherapy. GM-CSF and G-CSF share a number of biologic activities, GM-CSF seems to be more potent against fungi.
