The effect of primary granulocyte-colony stimulating factor prophylaxis on the incidence of febrile neutropenia in patients with testicular germ cell tumors
Abstract Background: Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common solid malignancy in men 15-35 years old. Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a serious complication of chemotherapy, frequently occurring in GCT patients. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the effect of primary granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) prophylaxis on the incidence of FN in GCT patients. Methods: This study was conducted from medical records database of GCTs patients treated with first line/adjuvant chemotherapy from January 2000 to December 2017. Starting in January 2006, patients received G-CSF prophylaxis after every cycle of chemotherapy. Results: Out of 385 patients, 264 patients received primary G-CSF prophylaxis and 121 patients did not receive prophylaxis. During the study period, 71 patients (18.4%) suffered FN events. Out of 121 patients who did not receive primary prophylaxis, 42 patients suffered FN, while only 29 patients with primary prophylaxis suffered FN (34.7% vs 11.0%, P = 0.00000003). On subgroup analysis, FN incidence decreased in all groups with primary prophylaxis, except for patients with stage I GCT receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients receiving G-CSF prophylaxis had significantly longer overall survival when compared to patients without prophylaxis. (HR = 0.54, 95% CI 0.31-0.96; P = 0.0235).Conclusions: Primary G-CSF prophylaxis was associated with significantly decreased FN incidence in patients treated with first line chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients receiving G-CSF prophylaxis had significantly longer overall survival. We suggest, that primary G-CSF prophylaxis should be considered in GCT patients receiving first line chemotherapy..
