Abstract: Chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia(CIT)is a major dose-limiting hematologic toxicity with cancer patients.Aside from bleeding risk,thrombocytopenia limits chemotherapy doses and frequencies.While platelet transfusion is remain the elementary method for CIT,administration of platelet growth factors,such as recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11),recombinant human thrombopoietin(rhTPO)and thrombopoietin receptor agonist(TPO-RA),are convenient and effective platelet-support strategies for patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy.In addition,other cytokines and proximal splenic artery embolization(PSAE)are expected to be new clinical therapies.In this review,we summarize the existing data and approaches in the treatment progress of CIT.

Key words: Chemotherapy, Thrombocytopenia, Treatment
