Introduction:
A common problem with chemotherapy treatments is reduced dose-intensities from treatment delays due to chemotherapy induced toxicities. In 2004, Lyman and colleagues assessed the overall incidence of reduced dose-intensities for 4,522 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients. They determined that 53% of the patients, due to treatment delays of >7 days (24%) or reduced doses of >15% (40%), received a rela… Show more
