Acupuncture for fever and low blood cells in sarcoma treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding acupuncture to standard treatment (G-CSF) can help reduce hospital stays for patients with sarcoma who develop a fever and low white blood cells after doxorubicin chemotherapy. It aims to see if the combination offers better support during recovery.

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 study tests a combination of chemo medicines (gemcitabine, doxorubicin, docetaxel) plus an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) for advanced sarcoma that can’t be removed with surgery. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth in people whose cancer has already been treated and is measurable on scans.
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 tests whether adding a medicine called G-CSF (which helps your body make more white blood cells) to standard antibiotics works better than antibiotics alone for children with fever and low white blood cells caused by cancer treatment.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help improve the immune system's response in people with cervical cancer that has spread, come back, or persists. It may be an option for those who cannot have surgery or radiation.
This trial tests if adding acupuncture to standard chemotherapy helps people recovering from stomach cancer surgery. It aims to improve well-being and reduce side effects.
