Low-risk febrile neutropenia: does combined chemotherapy/immune checkpoint inhibitor necessitate a change in approach?

Support Care Cancer

January 2025

Department of Acute Medicine, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Wilmslow Road, Manchester, UK.

Purpose: Management of patients with low-risk febrile neutropenia in an outpatient setting guided by the MASCC score is proven to be safe and effective. Most patients on ambulatory low-risk febrile neutropenia pathways are undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Recent data has shown benefit of the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy to cytotoxic chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with early triple-negative breast cancer.

Objective: To analyze the usefulness of mean mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) level to stratify risk in emergency department patients with solid tumors attended for febrile neutropenia after chemotherapy. To compare risk prediction with MR-proADM to that of conventional biomarkers and scores on the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) score.

Methods: Prospective observational cohort study enrolling patients with solid tumors who developed febrile neutropenia after chemotherapy.

November 2024

Department of Adult Health Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, The Hashemite University, P.O box 330127, Zarqa 13115, Jordan. Electronic address:

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the reproducibility, accuracy, feasibility, and effect of the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) criteria on emergency clinical decisions, treatment, and health outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective cohort design was used.

Results: The MASCC score was better at correctly detecting the high urgency (70 % of patients with a high urgency were identified as high risk) than the low urgency (only 30 % of patients with a low urgency were identified as low risk).

Article Synopsis
  • Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a serious condition often seen in chemotherapy patients, with a notable mortality rate of 12.5%, making accurate risk assessment vital for effective treatment.
  • This study, conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from 2015 to 2019, aimed to compare the effectiveness of two scoring systems—CISNE and MASCC—in predicting complications during hospitalization for FN patients.
  • The results indicated that CISNE score outperformed MASCC in both solid and hematologic cancers, with significant differences in predictive accuracy, particularly highlighting CISNE's superior ability to forecast in-hospital complications.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic poses severe risks for immunocompromised patients, especially those with neutropenia due to chemotherapy. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of remdesivir use in COVID-19 patients with neutropenia.

Methods: This retrospective study used the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD) and extracted data from 98,763 patients with COVID-19 diagnosed between April 2021 and September 2022.
