Overview of Medication That Induce Leukocytosis

Abstract: Leukocytosis has actually been associated with thrombosis and death in cancer patients. We explored the association of leukocytosis with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and early death in cancer patients initiating chemotherapy. Data from a potential, multicenter observational study of treatment-related problems in 4,405 ambulatory cancer patients initiating chemotherapy was utilized for this analysis. The association of leukocytosis, VTE and mortality during the course of chemotherapy was examined in multivariate and univariate analysis. In conclusion, Elevated WBC, especially neutrophils, is highly associated with increased threat of VTE and death in cancer patients receiving systemic chemotherapy. Further studies are had to elicit the mechanisms involved. Keywords: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), Medications, induce Leukocytosis.
