Scope of growth factor in cancer patients.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;15(6):375-7.

The growth factors (GFs) act at different stages of stem cell proliferation. Among them the most important ones found of clinical use are erythropoietin (EPO), granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte macrophagecolony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and thrombopoietin (TPO). Their concomitant use makes treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy easier and cost-effective, with fewer side effects and better quality of life in highly selected patients.
