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 directly into the bloodstream before surgery improves recovery for people with colorectal cancer who have low iron but are not anemic. It may help reduce fatigue and the need for blood transfusions after surgery.
This study tests whether giving an iron infusion after heart surgery can prevent long-term anemia (low blood counts). It aims to help patients recover better and avoid needing blood transfusions later.
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 compares two types of IV iron treatments to see which one works better for people who have anemia after gastric cancer surgery. If you're eligible, you could get either ferric carboxymaltose or iron sucrose to help boost your iron levels and improve your anemia.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving iron (as ferric carboxymaltose) after complex major surgery can improve recovery by helping your body rebuild blood and oxygen levels after blood loss. It may help patients who are having certain types of aortic, liver, or pancreas operations.
