According to background information in the research article, GCSF is a blood stem cell growth factor or hormone routinely administered to cancer patients whose blood stem cells and white blood cells have been depleted following chemotherapy or radiation.
When you are ill, GCSF stimulates the marrow to make more white blood cells to fight off infection.
Use of GCSF recently has increased because by speeding blood cell regrowth, it allows patients to undergo more intensive chemotherapy regimens in which anticancer agents are given at more frequent intervals.
