English
bone marrow depressionterm type: main entry term
definition: condition characterized by the decreased ability or inability of the bone marrow to produce blood cells. This is a common side effect of chemotherapy. Persons with below-normal blood levels are at greater risk for infections, anemia, and serious bleeding. If the blood counts are low, the chemotherapy dose may be reduced or postponed to allow the bone marrow to recover and the blood count to return to normal. (en)

Spanish
depresión de médula óseadefinition: trastorno caracterizado por un menor rendimiento de la médula ósea o incapacidad para producir células sanguíneas, siendo uno de los efectos secundarios de la quimioterapia. Los pacientes con niveles de células sanguíneas por debajo de lo normal presentan una mayor predisposición a infecciones, anemia y hemorragias graves. Si el recuento de células sanguíneas es bajo, se puede reducir la dosis de quimioterapia o aplazar el tratamiento hasta que se normalice el funcionamiento de la médula ósea o el recuento de células sanguíneas se restablezca.
