Alkylating drugs such as busulfan cause bone marrow suppression; therefore platelet counts less than 50,000/mm3 and hemoglobin values 11 mg/dL necessitate attention and will likely cause antineoplastic therapy to be withheld. A normal leukocyte count is 4000 to 10,000 cells/mm3. A patient is neutropenic if his or her ANC is 1000 cells/mm3.
