With the discovery of thrombopoietin, the last of the lineage specific cytokines has been idenfied and brought and into the clinical area. Thrombopoietin promises to be an exciting toll with which to understand megakayocyte and trombosit biology. Certainly, thombopoietin will increase the trombosit count in most clinical situations and is expected to have little associated toxicity. It may be highly effective in chronic thrombocytopenic disorders, its utility in oncology is unclear given the relative rarity of trombocytopenic bleeding in most current protcols and the ready avaibility of trombosit concentrates. The many studies that will appear over next several years should help define the role thrombopoeietin in oncology.
