Management of anemia in patients with cancer presents challenges from clinical, operational, and economic perspectives. Clinically, anemia in these patients may result from treatment (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgical interventions) or from the malignancy itself. Anemia not only contributes to cancer-related fatigue and other quality of life issues, but also affects prognosis. From the operational perspective, a patient with cancer who is also anemic may consume more laboratory, pharmacy, and clinical resources than other patients with cancer.
从临床、运营和经济角度来看,癌症患者的贫血管理存在诸多挑战。临床上,这些患者的贫血可能是治疗(化疗、放疗或手术干预)或恶性肿瘤本身所致。贫血不仅会导致癌症相关疲劳和其他生活质量问题,还会影响预后。从运营角度来看,患有癌症同时伴有贫血的患者可能比其他癌症患者消耗更多的实验室、药房和临床资源。
