Would you routinely use G-CSF prophylaxis in a CMML patient for decitabine-related neutropenia?

Answer from: at Community Practice

I would use G-CSF if the patient is in remission/responding to decitabine and neutropenia, is decitabine induced and not due to CMML. I will not use at diagnosis or when not in remission as neutropenia may be disease-related.
