Bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy
Medium risk
-
CHT with high risk of developing FN (>20 %) *
- presence of severe internal comorbidities

- poor nutritional status of the patient
- tumour infiltration of the bone marrow
- previous RT to a large part of the axial bone structure
- primary immunodeficiency

CHT with medium risk of developing FN (10-20 %) and the presence of other risk factors in the patient or related to anticancer treatment, increasing the risk of developing FN or complicating its course *
Risk factors:
Low risk
-
CHT with low risk of developing FN (< 10 %) in the presence of RF
The issue of radiotherapy in the orofacial area and haematological malignancies is prepared separately.
* The risk of developing FN is determined by the referring oncologist based on the chosen therapy and the patient's condition, e.g. according to:
