Iron treatment to lower anemia during pre-surgery chemotherapy
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving iron (iron sucrose) can reduce anemia during chemotherapy before curative surgery. It may help you feel better and have smoother treatment by improving low blood counts caused by iron deficiency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
