Description

Neutrophils, eosinophil’s, and basophils are granulocytes, a subset of white blood cells that are distinguished by the presence of granules. Granulocytopenia is defined as a decrease in the absolute count of these three cell lines, whereas neutropenia is defined as a decrease in the Absolute Neutrophil Count only (ANC). However, in practice, the terms granulocytopenia and neutropenia are frequently used interchangeably.

Understanding normal physiology is essential for understanding neutropenia and its complications. The majority of neutrophils are found in the bone marrow in both mitotic (myeloblasts, promyelocytes, and myelocytes) and post-mitotic (metamyelocytes, bands, and then neutrophils) stages. An equal proportion of neutrophils in the circulation are marginal and non-marginal pool. As a result of pro-inflammatory trafficking cytokines, neutrophils enter tissue from the circulation. Neutropenia is characterized by a decrease in the non-marginal pool of neutrophils, which accounts for only 4% to 5% of total neutrophil.

Cancer-directed therapy and mechanisms

Cancer has been around for centuries, and humans have been concerned with cancer treatment for an equally long time. Breast cancer was first described thousands of years ago and was first treated surgically in 500 BCE. Surgical resection for cancer treatment became popular in the 18^th and 19^th centuries, but chemotherapy did not enter the picture until the early 1900’s. ‘Chemotherapy became widely used after world war II, with cures for leukaemia and lymphoma described in the 1960’s. While oncologists became purveyors of chemotherapy, they also began to manage the side effects of these same treatments. Thus, a mechanistic understanding is required for the prediction and treatment of cancer related complications.

Types of cancer-directed therapy

• Cytotoxic chemotherapy: The term chemotherapy derives from the concept of using chemicals to treat disease. Traditional chemotherapy was developed in the early 1900’s and is still used to treat most cancers today among the most common types of chemotherapy are pyrimidine analogs, purine analogs, anthracyclines, antifolates, alkylating agents, platinum derivatives, DNA topoisomerase inhibitors, taxanes, vinca alkaloids, hypo ethylating agents, and proteasome inhibitors.
• Targeted therapy can take many forms, but the most common are monoclonal antibodies or small molecules that interact with a specific molecule known to be involved in cancer growth. Imatinib, which targets BCR-ABL, bevacizumab, which targets VEGF, trastuzumab, which targets HER, and erlotinib, which targets EGFR are just a few examples.
• Immunotherapy is a relatively new type of cancerdirected therapy that includes vaccine, cellular, cytokine, anti-CTLA-4, and anti-PD-1 therapies. Pembrolizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab are some of the most commonly used therapies.

Neutropenia causes

• Neutropenia is a common complication seen in a variety of cancers. Numerous factors should be considered in patients with cancer. The most common causes of neutropenia in cancer patients. Although neutropenia is the most common Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of chemotherapy, it is critical to consider the differential diagnosis when determining the best treatment for each patient.
• Chemotherapy can predispose to infections in a variety of ways. While neutropenia is a significant cause, chemotherapy can also impair the physical barriers formed by mucosal surfaces, which serve as the first line of defense against infections. Classic signs of inflammation, such as dolor (pain), calor (heat), rubor (redness), tumor (swelling), and function less (loss of function), may be diminished in such patients due to neutrophil dysfunction. As a result, infections are more likely to be missed. In neutropenic infections, fever is usually the only sign of infection, necessitating extra caution.'
• Radiation therapy is classified into two types based on the source of the radiation. External beam radiation is radiation in which the source is located outside of the patient. Internal beam radiation, also known as brachytherapy, is a ype of radiation in which the source is placed near or within a tumor. Radiation therapy complications result from radiation exposure to nontumor cells and vary depending on the type and location of cells affected.
