Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia is one of the major adverse events which results in the reduction of chemotherapy. Doxorubicin is a substrate of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) transporter; reportedly, ABCB1 polymorphisms influence doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. We evaluated the association between chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and ABCB1 polymorphisms in patients with...
