[Characteristic features of infections in hemoblastoses under cytostatic treatment (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Infections and/or severe hemorrhages are the reasons for the unfavorable prognosis in patients with myeloid insufficiency. Hemorrhagic complications may be reduced by thrombocyte transfusions and substitution of coagulation factors; the prevention and treatment of infections represents great problems in spite of newly developed broad spectrum antibiotics. A comparison is made between the therapeutic results of 11 patients treated in sterile units and 22 patients treated under conventional conditions. The rate of remission was seen to be 64% in the first group and 28% in the second.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
