Blood transfusion and cancer surgery outcomes: a continued reason for concern. Surgery. 2012 Sep;152(3):344–54.Al-Refaie WB, Parsons HM, Markin A, Abrams J, Habermann EB. Blood transfusion and cancer surgery outcomes: a continued reason for concern. Sur- gery. 2012;152:344-354....
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...
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...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion on cancer-specific outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Follow-up data were collected from 722 patients undergoing radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) betw...
We propose to realize controlled transfusion of incompatible blood for the treatment of cancer. Transfusion of group-mismatched red blood cells (RBCs) induces an immune response between the cell surface antigens on the donor's RBCs and the antibodies against those antigens in the recipient's serum...
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 th...
The effect of perioperative blood transfusion on cancer progression remains controversial because retrospective clinical studies have produced conflicting results. We have collected data prospectively on 379 patients undergoing curative surgery for colorectal adenocarcinoma and assessed the effect of variables, in...
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...
