Blood management in breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a blood management approach for breast cancer patients with low iron or hemoglobin who are having surgery. It aims to improve recovery by treating anemia before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer (confirmed by biopsy)
- You are planning to have breast surgery (either to remove the cancer or reconstruct the breast)
- Your hemoglobin level is 11 g/dL or lower, or your transferrin saturation is 20% or lower (both are measures of iron in your blood)
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate

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.
This trial studies a program to manage blood levels before, during, and after heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and improve recovery.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a specific iron medicine before major gynecologic cancer surgery can improve recovery. It’s mainly for people with low blood counts from low iron stores before surgery.
This trial tests a combined treatment plan to improve anemia (low blood count/iron levels) before and around the time of major elective heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and support safer recovery.
This study tests whether giving a combination of iron, a hormone that boosts red blood cells, and a medication to reduce bleeding before surgery can help patients with bone tumors who have low iron or anemia. It aims to improve recovery and reduce the need for blood transfusions after surgery.
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.
