Drug-induced pancytopenia (MCC) always common after use of High-Dose Interleukin II.
Pt with known metastatic melanoma often treated with HD-IL2 a known adverse-effect is pancytopenia due to HD-L2.

Any with recent chemotherapy? We look for pancytopenia which is a cc and then try to link to a drug such as chemo which would be an MCC. Recently had hep C on Ribaviran and MD agreed to pancytopenia drug-induced for an MCC! Hope this helps.
