Medical prescription of hematopoietic growth factors (HGF) was analysed in 19 anticancer french centers during 2 months. About 4% of anticancer chemotherapeutic cycles prescribed during this period were supported by HGF prescription. The mean duration of treatment was 8 days. Among the 755 collected prescriptions, two tumor localizations represented about 50% of the prescriptions: malignant non Hodgkin lymphomas and breast cancer. The other main localizations concerned adult or pediatric soft tissue sarcomas (18%), testicular cancer (7%) and gynecologic tumors (6%). The prescription for primary prophylaxis for febrile neutropenia remains the main use of HGF (44%). The respect of the guidelines established by the F|d|ration nationale des centres de lutte contre le cancer was analyzed. Overall, 66% of the prescriptions were in adequation with these guidelines. Whereas the consommation of HGF decreased in the 19 considered institutions, it did not reach a plateau and could decrease in institutions which are awaked to the international and national recommendations.
