Anaemia is a problem frequently encountered in the treatment of cancer, whether it is caused by satellite chemotherapy of the tumour pathology or induced by other treatments. Too often it is either neglected or not recognised, despite its very real impact on cancer patients' quality of life.
This book examines the effects of anaemia on quality of life and considers the possibility of treating it with erythropoietin as an alternative to transfusion in the case of chemically induced anaemia It discusses the clinical effects of chemically-induced anaemia and various approaches are dealt with, depending on whether the tumours being treated are solid or haematological.
This very complete book will make doctors aware of the importance of not neglecting chemically-induced anaemia and will help them to select those therapies that are best suited to dealing with it.
