  • Title: Lithium carbonate in the treatment of drug-induced leukopenia in patients with solid tumors.
    Author: Scanni A, Tomirotti M, Berra S, Licciardello L, Felicetta I, Bertolini G, Bregni M.
    Journal: Tumori; 1980 Dec 31; 66(6):729-37. PubMed ID: 7015644.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on the first part of an ongoing controlled trial (52 cases) on the evaluation of the effectiveness of Li2CO3 treatment of drug-induced leukopenia in patients with solid tumors. The results indicate that treatment with 750 mg/day per os of Li2CO3 for 7 days is capable of raising the leukocyte count to a highly significant extent, without serious side effects. The leukocytosis is due to an increase in neutrophil granulocytes.
