Implication

Retrospective study evaluates chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia outcomes in cancer patients, highlighting management strategies.

Key Points

Evaluate the incidence and management outcomes of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) in cancer patients, identifying common chemotherapeutic agents.
Conducted a retrospective observational study over 1 year at a tertiary care oncology centre.
Collected data from electronic medical records of 150 cancer patients who had completed at least three cycles of chemotherapy.
Graded thrombocytopenia according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and analyzed management strategies.
CIT observed in 48.6% of patients receiving platinum-based regimens.
Grade 1 CIT accounted for 82%, with the highest incidence linked to carboplatin (24%).
Severe cases managed with romiplostim and/or platelet transfusion, while mild-to-moderate cases were managed conservatively.
