 | | Anaemia in cancer used to be left largely untreated and was regarded by many physicians as a minor aspect of the disease and associated therapy. | | | Nowadays, however, recognition of the severity of the negative impact of anaemia on quality of life, through fatigue, depression, nausea and the inability of patients to work or fulfil their social roles, has led to anaemia management becoming an integral part of quality treatment for cancer patients. | | | Nowadays recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-EPO) is used to treat anaemia. |

| | Anaemia is a condition in which the blood fails to supply the body's tissues with sufficient amounts of oxygen. | | | If the anaemia is severe there is a risk of angina (chest pain), headache and leg pains. | | | Anaemia results when the balance of this mechanism is disturbed. |

| | Prognosis for this form of anaemia is generally that it is corrected by therapy. | | | Causes of other types of aplastic anaemia may be chemotherapy, radiation therapy, toxins, drugs, pregnancy, congenital disorder, or systemic lupus erythematosus. | | | Blood transfusions and, increasingly, bone marrow transplants, are necessary forms of treatment for aplastic anaemia patients. |
