Another small study (8 patients with leukaemia (n = 7) or breast cancer (n = 1) demonstrated that adjuvant therapy with G-CSF in addition to amphotericin B resulted in cure (n = 4), partial response (n = 2) or failure (n = 2), indicating potential utility of G-CSF in resolving fungal infection in patients with malignancy (350). Here, CSF3 is linked to breast carcinoma.
