Chemotherapy-induced anemia is the predominant adverse event observed in individuals undergoing cancer treatment, resulting in a reduction in red blood cells and hemoglobin levels. This condition manifests through indicators such as diminished quality of life and fatigue. Effective approaches for managing recurrent chemotherapy-induced anemia encompass the use of erythropoietin-stimulating agents, blood transfusions, and intravenous iron supplementation. Each of these interventions presents distinct pros and cons, with selecting a particular treatment modality contingent upon the severity of anemia and the duration of malignancy. A comprehensive review of scholarly literature reveals a high prevalence of anemia among cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Ongoing research endeavors are focused on developing pharmacological agents for cancer treatment that are devoid of adverse effects, particularly concerning anemia, a common complication associated with this therapeutic approach.
