Anaemia in neoplastic disease - what does this mean
Anaemia in neoplastic disease is caused by an abnormally high rate of production of red blood cells by the bone marrow, resulting in a decrease in the amount of oxygen-carrying red blood cells available to the body. this can be caused by the cancer itself, or by the chemotherapy or radiation therapy used to treat the cancer.
What happens during the disease - anaemia in neoplastic disease
Anaemia in neoplastic disease is caused by a combination of factors, including decreased production of red blood cells (rbcs) by the bone marrow due to bone marrow infiltration by tumor cells, increased destruction of rbcs due to cytokines released by the tumor cells, and increased consumption of rbcs due to increased metabolic demands of the tumor cells. these factors lead to an inadequate number of rbcs, resulting in anaemia.

- Improving nutrition
- Treating any underlying conditions that may be causing anaemia
No Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Anaemia in neoplastic disease - Prevention
Anaemia in neoplastic disease can be prevented by maintaining a healthy diet that is rich in iron, vitamin b12, and folate, as well as by avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, regular exercise and adequate hydration can help maintain healthy blood cell levels.
