Leukemia...: Any cancer that impairs the ability of the bone marrow to produce normal cells, like neutrophils, can cause neutropenia. Leukemias are the most common cause since the cancer actually originates in the bone marrow itself. Other less common causes of neutropenia are cancers that metastasize to the bone marrow.
