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 th...
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...
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 ...
A major population of cancer patients experience anaemia during the course of their disease process and by treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and also whilst on supportive therapies (Groopman and Itri 1999). Red Blood Transfusion (RBT) is the most commonly used form of correction of ana...

The aim of this study is to evaluate influence of allogeneic blood transfusion on prognosis in patients in Dukes B stage of colorectal cancer. All patients with colorectal cancer who were admitted at our Department of Surgery between January 2000 and December 2004 were analyzed. One hundred fifty...
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...
Blood transfusions and prognosis in colorectal cancer. BACKGROUND: Blood transfusions may adversely affect the prognosis of patients treated surgically for cancer, although definite proof of this adverse effect... O Busch,W Hop,MH Van Papendrecht,... - 《N Engl J Med》 被引量: 1780发表: 199...
