In this review, we develop four topics on the relationship between blood transfusion and cancer. First, the rationale for not allowing blood donations from patients with infiltrating tumors is presented. Second, the different possibilities for autotransfusions in cancer patients are discussed. Predeposi...
Home blood transfusion may be an interesting alternative to hospital transfusion, especially when given with curative or palliative intent or for terminal care in advanced-stage cancer patients. However, there is limited information about patients' attitude toward this type of care. The purpose of ...

Many people don't realize that cancer patients are in constant need of blood supplies. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer can damage the body's ability to produce healthy blood cells and cause potentially life-threatening conditions. Blood transfusions help provide critical clotting ...

Given the anticipated increase in utilization of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, as well as the transfusion needs of MM patients, it is critical to understand the nature of this interference with blood bank testing and to optimize clinical and laboratory procedures. In this review, we summarize ...
+ Ben-Eliyahu, Shamgar + + Ph.D.; Abstract: Background: In cancer patients, allogeneic blood transfusion is associated with poorer prognosis, but the independent effect of the transfusion is controversial. Moreover, mediating mechanisms underlying the alleged cancer-promoting effects of blood ...
Recent reports have suggested that perioperative blood transfusions may adversely affect prognosis after resection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To determine the impact of perioperative transfusion on the recurrence-free interval, the status of 352 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for...
Specific proteins called colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) promote the growth of granulocytes in bone marrow. G-CSF (granulocyte CSF) and GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage CSF) are given to restore granulocyte production in cancer patients. Erythr...
