<jats:p>Cell proliferation in the bone marrow and blood of two patients with metastatic breast cancer who were treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was studied by using [3H]thymidine labeling and autoradiography. Additionally, the fate of neutrophils labeled with 99mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime was observed following granulocyte colony-stimulating factor infusion. Proliferation increased in all stages of granulopoiesis, but a significant amount of the increased production stemmed from a greater input to the myeloblast compartment. Changes in the myelogram combined with the increased labeling indicated a faster throughput of cells, which resulted in labeled cells appearing in the circulation within 1 day compared to the normal 4 or 5 days. The 99mTc studies demonstrated no sequestration of circulating neutrophils by spleen, lungs, or liver. The half-life of the circulating neutrophils was not significantly changed, and calculations from the flow of labeled cells to the peripheral blood indicated an increase of 3.2 extra amplification divisions during neutrophil development. The dramatic neutrophil response to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor can therefore be accommodated by a relatively modest increase in granulopoietic activity.</jats:p>
