GlossaryMyelosuppression (Marrow Suppression)

condition where bone marrow produces fewer blood cells

Myelosuppression is a medical condition where the bone marrow's ability to produce blood cells is decreased. This can lead to a reduction in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, causing anemia, increased risk of infection, and bleeding problems. It is often a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy used in cancer treatment.
