In the strictest terms, yes. For example, Hydroxyurea decreases cell production in the bone marrow and can rapidly decrease a population of white cells called myeloid cells in the case of leukemia where the count can exceed 100,000. This is to prevent leukostasis which is where the cancerous cells thicken the blood and cause it to sludge causing respiratory failure or stroke.
