Acupuncture as add-on to G-CSF for Febrile Neutropenia-related Hospitalization in Doxorubicin-treated Patients With Sarcoma

Acupuncture will be administered bilaterally on points PC6, LI 4, CV6, SP6, SP10 and ST36 on the first day of each cycle (d1), prior to administration of chemotherapy; and on d8, each session lasting between 30 to 45 minutes. Patients will continue from d1 to d8 with press-tack acupuncture needles on points PC 6, LI4, SP 6 and ST 36. On d8, patients will again undergo acupuncture, and continue with self-acupressure on the same points as the press-tack needles, until the next chemotherapy cycle.
