Abstract

We analyzed 4 cases who experienced extravasation of anthracyclines and had dexrazoxane therapy in our hospital. Concerned drugs were 2 adriamycin and 2 amrubicin cases and all cases received steroid ointment therapy, and no cases showed severe condition such as skin ulcer. As dexrazoxane is known to enhance bone marrow suppression of anti-cancer drugs, the nadir of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was observed from day 10 to 17 in our cases. We made a domestic manual and have used in various professionals. Dexrazoxane would contribute to the reduction of skin damage due to extravasation if we could manage bone marrow suppression successfully.
