Acupuncture for fever and low white blood cells during sarcoma treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Infections clinical trials.

This trial tests whether an antibiotic called ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) can help patients with blood cancers who have a fever and very low infection-fighting white blood cells. It may be an option for people whose doctors plan to use this specific antibiotic to treat their fever.
This trial studies whether proteins in your blood can predict complications when you have a fever and very low white blood cells after cancer treatment. It aims to help doctors choose the best antibiotics early on.
This trial looks at whether adding a medicine called G-CSF (which helps the body make more white blood cells) to antibiotics is better than antibiotics alone for children with cancer who develop a fever and low blood cell counts after chemotherapy.
This study looks at whether a common side effect (bone pain) from a medicine that boosts white blood cells (called G-CSF) is related to the number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in your blood. If you join, you will receive the medicine as part of your normal chemotherapy routine, and the researchers will track your blood counts and any bone pain you experience.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can boost your immune system's ability to fight cervical cancer, especially when the cancer has spread or come back. If you join, you'll receive acupuncture alongside your usual care, and researchers will monitor how your immune cells respond.
This study compares different doses of a medication called PEG-rhG-CSF, which is used to help prevent a serious side effect of chemotherapy called febrile neutropenia (fever with a low white blood cell count). The goal is to find the best dose that keeps your blood counts healthy and reduces the risk of infection during treatment.
