Abstract

Purpose: The cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are important new agents in the care of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative (HER2–) advanced breast cancer. CDK4/6 inhibitors are generally well tolerated, although neutropenia is a significant class-wide adverse effect. Frequent monitoring of the full blood count (FBC) is required during treatment so that neutropenia is managed with appropriate dose interruption and/or dose reduction. We sought to assess the impact of repeated visits to the oncology outpatient clinic as well as waiting time for FBC results.
