Methods baseline characteristics 2208 in 2020 (n=922) and 2019 (n=1286) Χ 2 Mann-Whitney U tests calculated ORs binary logistic regression. To evaluate expected changes cancer survival secondary to stage migration, we used 5-year data Survival, Epidemiology End Results (SEER) Program 2010–2016. The percentage patients inoperable or metastatic disease was significantly...

Anemia remains an essential concern affecting the quality of life and survival cancer patients. Although there are different approaches to treating anemia in patients, number studies reporting efficacy iron replacement patients is limited. In this study, safety carboxymaltose, a parenteral treatment option, anemia, were examined retrospectively. A total 1102 adult who received IV ferric carboxymaltose at Hacettepe Oncology Hospital between 2014 2020 included. The mean hemoglobin change...
