which antineoplastic agents do not produce bone marrow suppression?

  #2

What's the answer almina?

I know that most of antineoplatic drugs cause myelosupression but methotrexate's myelosupression can be reversed w/leucovorin.

Maybe Cisplatin??, bleomycin???,

Vincristine, Bleomycin, L-asparginase, Steroids - NO myelosuppression

Cisplatin produces moderate myelosuppression, I think...Carbaplatin produces a dose limiting myelosuppression also.

Busulfan produces a selective bone marrow suppression of granulocytes

I am not sure about Cyclophosphamide and Ifosfamide :?:
