Prospective Evaluation of Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer Risk Index Score for Gynecologic Oncology Patients With Febrile Neutropenia

Conclusions: This pilot data suggests that MASCC score may be a promising tool for determining suitability of outpatient management of FN in gynecologic oncology patients. Larger studies are warranted to achieve statistically significant results, which may enable us to effectively utilize this risk stratification tool for cost containment and avoidance of nosocomial infections.
