[Characteristics of the occurrence of hematotoxic side effects of cytostatic drugs--results of a retrospective 10 year study of a district hospital].
From 1978 to 1988 in 77 patients of a district hospital, 58 females and 19 males, with malignant tumours or haemoblastoses a therapy with cytostatic agents was finished. A retrospective study analyses characteristics of haematotoxic side effects of cytostatic agents, which despite usual dosage according to the valid guide-lines have appeared in this patient population. According to this the granulocytopoiesis is injured most frequently and most severely. In one third of all patients under influence of cytostatic agents the number of the segment-nuclear granulocytes in the peripheral blood decreased deeper than 0.5 Gpt/l (severe neutropenia). In toxic influences on the thrombopoiesis slight and medium degrees of severity are dominating. Lesions of the erythropoiesis are apparently more infrequent, though they are more difficult to be proved. Further characteristics in the occurrence of severe neutropenias (date, dependence on age, pharmacological aspects) are demonstrated and discussed.
