⚠️ Specialistisch begeleide kankertherapie — dit medicijn wordt gestart, gecontroleerd en gestopt door een oncoloog of hematoloog. Dosering hangt af van het tumortype, stadium, lichaamsoppervlak, orgaanfunctie en gelijktijdige therapie. Zelfbehandeling is niet geschikt; de onderstaande informatie is educatief en ondersteunt geïnformeerde gesprekken met uw specialist.
Cumulative myelosuppression — weekly FBC during induction. Stop if neutrophils <1500/μL or platelets <100,000/μL. Cumulative dose limit relates to risk of secondary AML/MDS (~5-10% lifetime risk in long-term users). Take on empty stomach (food halves bioavailability).
