Iron deficiency anemia and recovery after colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how iron deficiency anemia affects recovery after surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand if treating this type of anemia before surgery improves outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have colorectal cancer and are scheduled for surgery to remove it (not just to relieve symptoms)
- You have iron deficiency anemia (low iron levels causing low red blood cells)
- You are healthy enough for surgery (classified as ASA III)
- You have not received a blood transfusion in the 4 months before entering the hospital

This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein can help people with colorectal cancer who have low iron stores but are not anemic. It looks at patients scheduled for curative colon or rectum surgery.
This trial looks at how your immune cells change before and after surgery for colorectal cancer, and whether those changes affect your long-term recovery. It may help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
This study looks at long-term results of giving iron before major heart surgery to people with low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment helps recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests a single dose of intravenous iron given after heart surgery to see if it helps prevent or reduce long-term anemia. It is for adults who already have low iron or anemia before surgery and who remain anemic the day after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron after a non–life-threatening stomach or bowel bleed can help rebuild blood levels and prevent problems related to iron deficiency. You would need to be stable after the bleeding is treated and meet specific blood and health criteria.
This trial compares two types of iron given through a vein to treat anemia (low red blood cells) after surgery for stomach cancer. It aims to find which treatment is more effective at improving your blood count and energy levels.
