Abstract
Background: Anemia is prevalent in 32% to 60% of patients with cancer due to an underlying disease, nutritional deficiencies and complications of medication used in chemotherapy. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends the use of oral or intravenous iron supplementation in patients with iron deficiency anemia.
