Risk factors for bone pain among patients with cancer receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim

Conclusions Potential risk factors for bone pain in patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy and primary prophylactic pegfilgrastim identified in this study are younger age and history of bone pain. No other association with clinical factors and risk of bone pain was detected. Better understanding of risk factors for bone pain would be useful in identifying patients who may benefit from pain prevention strategies. (Source: Supportive Care in Cancer)
