The Effect of Lipid Profile and Obesity on the Grade of Neutropenia in Patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Etoposide-Cisplatin as First Regimen

Conclusions: As previously reported, we confirmed that the greater the degree of neutropenia, the better the treatment response. However, the effect of patient’s BMI, TG, LDL, and HDL on neutropenia was not statistically significant. Since predicting the degree of neutropenia is important, we will continue our efforts to find relevant factors.
