Summary Introduction

Bone marrow suppression is also known as myelosuppression. It is one of the severe adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Anticancer drugs destroy the rapidly dividing cells (cancer cells), including white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets in the bone marrow. Myelosuppression results in thrombocytopenia, anemia, and leukopenia.
