  • Title: [Anaemia treatment in gynaecology: use of epoetin in onco-gynaecology and gynaecological surgery].
    Author: Kirchner V, Anaemia Working Group.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2005 Apr 13; 1(15):1041-3, 1046-7. PubMed ID: 15918284.
    Abstract:
    In gynaecology, anaemia treatment is indicated in extremely different situations. In cancer patients, treatment with epoetin can relieve fatigue and improve quality of life. In these patients, epoetin treatment can also have a positive influence on survival through increasing the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Recent data are presented. In gynaecological surgery, the use of epoetin--based on results in oncology and orthopaedic surgery--makes a constructive contribution to the improvement of quality of life and during patient recovery through rapid normalisation of perioperative anaemia, thus reducing the risk of a transfusion with donated blood. Encouraging data from recent publications concerning the prevention of PRCA under epoetin treatment are presented.
