Efficacy and safety of same-day versus next-day administration of PEG-rhG-CSF for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and febrile neutropenia in patients with breast cancer: a retrospective cohort study

Objectives Polyethylene glycol recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (PEG-rhG-CSFs) are used to prevent or treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) and febrile neutropenia (FN). This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of same-day versus next-day PEG-rhG-CSF administration following chemotherapy and the effects of 3 mg versus 6 mg dosages.
