Anemia is prevalent in cancer patients and affects 20–80% of patients with solid tumors.Gynecologic cancer is associated with a high frequency of anemia (~85%). The frequency of anemia and blood transfusion is also reported to be very high during surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, which are the mainstay of treatment for gynecologic cancers.Blood transfusion was considered the only way to quickly correct anemia in the presence of acute blood loss; In a recent randomized controlled trial in adults with isovolumic anemia following radical gastrectomy, the use of intravenous ferric carboxy-maltose compared with placebo was more likely to result in an improved hemoglobin response at 12 weeks and led to significantly greater improvements in iron panels such as serum ferritin level and transferrin saturation levels.
