    Abstract
    This study was conducted to test the feasibility of reducing the interval between cycles of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide (ACE) chemotherapy to 2 weeks, thereby increasing dose intensity, by adding granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to reduce the duration of neutropenia following a cycle. 20 patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) were prescribed six cycles of 2-weekly ACE, with G-CSF on the intermediate days. 3 patients died during the treatment period and a further 5 had ACE terminated, 3 for toxicity and 2 for progressive disease. Of the 71 intervals between cycles, 42 (59%) were of the prescribed 14 days, 9 (13%) of 15-20 days, 15 (21%) of 21 days and five (7%) longer, but during the first four cycles, 36 (77%) of 47 intervals were of 14 days. The main reason for delay was haematological toxicity. All 20 patients experienced WHO grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, but at 2 weeks after a cycle only 3 had grade 4 and 1 grade 3. 17 patients required blood transfusion and 12 platelet transfusion. The only potentially serious adverse reaction to G-CSF was an episode of rash with facial oedema. Adding G-CSF allows ACE chemotherapy to be intensified by reducing the interval between cycles.
