Abstract
- The article discusses the role of iron supplementation during treatment of chemotherapy-related anemia (CRA). The authors review several published reports that have addressed the issue. They conclude that iron supplementation, alone or in conjunction with erythropoiesis-stimulatory agents (ESA) is a valid therapeutic tool for the treatment of cancer anemia and its use should be considered in medical oncology.
