what is myelotoxicity
This is the side effect of chemotherapy; myelotoxicity, the slowdown of bone marrow function to produce white blood cells, red blood cells and plasma cells, is caused by almost all anticancer drugs. A patient hardly realizes that s/he has the myelotoxicity, unless s/he suffers such complications as infections and bleeding. However, once complications occur, the patient will fall into a critical condition and be vitally at risk.
