| dc.description.abstract | Anaemia is commonly seen in oncology patients irrespective of the malignancy encountered.
Despite its widespread occurrence, the pathophysiology leading to its manifestation is varied.
In this literary review, we aim to summarise the known mechanisms and the novel research to
have an integrated understanding of this debilitating symptom in cancer patients and its
potential effect on the survival on patients with neoplasia. This review will consist of separate
chapters based on the different pathogenesis of anaemia in cancer patents, including those
associated with chronic inflammation and those induced directly by tumour specific
mechanisms, hematopoietic neoplasia, and paraneoplastic syndromes, excluding the anaemia
caused by blood loss. | en_US |
