En un estudio denominado: "Phase II Multicenter Study of Bendamustine Plus Rituximab in Patients With Relapsed Indolent B-Cell and Mantle Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma":

"The combination of bendamustine and rituximab was well tolerated (Tables 3 and 4). The primary toxicity was reversible myelosuppression; grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was reported in 24 patients (36%), including four patients (6%) with febrile neutropenia. Other grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities included thrombocytopenia (9%) and anemia (2%). **Growth factor or blood product support** was administered during 43 (9%) of 463 cycles. Ten patients (15%) received RBC growth factors (darbapoetin or epoetin-alfa), and eight patients (12%) received granulocyte growth factors (pegfilgrastim, filgrastim, or sargramostim). Up to cycle 4, growth factor support increased with the number of treatment cycles administered. Four patients (6%) received transfusions of platelets, plasma, or other blood products during the study. There was no clear trend for an increase in the frequency of transfusions administered over time. No secondary malignancies were reported."

Nuevamente, tengo problemas con la palabra "support" en este contexto. ¿Alguien me lo podría aclarar? Muchas gracias por sus sugerencias
