Abstract
Recombinant human growth factors, particularly granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), have been only available for a few years. Since their introduction they have affected the management of drug-induced neutropenia, the use of dose intensive chemotherapy regim ens and in the setting of autologous stem cell transplantation. This r eview addresses the clinical role of GM-CSF, using the data available, in neutrophil recovery in relation to various health care parameters.
