Lithium-Carbonate as a Protectant Against Chemotherapy-Induced Myelosuppression
Abstract
dc:descriptionLithium carbonate has been used as an adjunct to cancer chemotherapy to lessen the dose-limiting myelosuppressive effects of several anti-cancer drugs. Its mechanism is unknown, but several possible sites of action have been considered. Lithium causes a neutrophilia and may protect the bone marrow against the toxic effects of myelosuppressive drugs.
