This article summarizes the available treatment options for cancer-related anemia and offers guidance for transfusion of red blood cells, platelets, and other blood products in patients with cancer. Given the f
The impact of allogeneic blood transfusion (aBT) on OS is still a matter of debate. We aimed to investigate the impact of aBT on OS in a homogeneous population of patients undergoing surgical treatment for EC in a single center during a 15-year period. Methods In total, 409 patients who ...
Until recently, red blood cell transfusions represented the most commonly employed treatment for cancer anemia. As transfusions have been related to worse patient outcome in oncologic surgery, preventive strategies and alternative treatment approaches in the perioperative setting are warranted. This review...
Red Blood Cell Transfusion Preferred Over Epoetin Alfa for Treatment of Anemia in Breast Cancerdoi:10.1142/9789812811387_0026Pancreatic NeoplasmsMicroRNAsDiagnosisPrognosisTherapyWe investigate the lattice-relaxation processes and the energy-transfer of excitons in crystalline C, so as...
The use of blood transfusions for the treatment of anemia in critically ill patients warrants further evaluation. This prospective observational study was designed to determine the frequency of blood drawing and the volume of blood lost from blood drawing, and to estimate the incidence of anemia ...
a family recently was told recently during medical examination of their sick child that she has a blood disorder and that she will need chemotherapy. The family is devasted by the news. During the course of the treatment, the doctors tell the family that the child will need blood transfusion...
transfusions during radical surgery for non-metastatic cancer. Risk of death and relapse were pooled to provide an adjusted hazard ratio with a 95% confidence interval [hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval {CI})]. Mortality and relapse associated with perioperative transfusion due to ...
Blood cancer treatment usually starts with chemotherapy, either alone or with other drugs and treatments. Experts often disagree about which treatments to use. Stem cell transplants are expensive, risky, and usually recommended when chemotherapy fails. However, some cancer centers are trying stem cell...
Assessed patients had a diagnosis of malignant cancer (ICD-9-CM 140.XX-208.xx), received chemotherapy, and were anemic (Hb < 11 g/dL) during the chemotherapy treatment period. Patients diagnosed with myelodysplasia, acute leukemia, or chronic kidney disease who received dialysis...
Perioperative blood transfusion appears to increase the risk of recurrence and death in patients with surgically resected lung cancer. This finding is consistent with that in other cancers and several studies in lung cancer report similar risk elevations. We have reanalyzed the Lung Cancer Study Group...
