Anemia before cancer surgery and death risk
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having anemia (low red blood cells) before cancer surgery is linked to a higher risk of death. It may help find patients who need extra care before their operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Having planned cancer surgery that aims to cure the cancer
- Not needing emergency surgery
- No blood transfusion before the surgery
- A blood count test done before surgery

This study looks at how different levels and types of anemia (low red blood cells) before planned surgery affect your recovery. If you have anemia and are having a moderate- to high-risk surgery (not brain or heart), you may be able to join to help doctors learn how to better prepare patients for surgery.
This study looks at how having low red blood cell levels (anemia) before surgery affects recovery after a planned liver removal. It may help doctors understand risks and improve care for people like you.
This trial looks at whether following a hospital guideline to treat anemia before surgery helps patients have better pre-op care. You may be eligible if you have anemia found during a pre-anesthesia clinic visit.
This study looks at how common anemia is after weight loss surgery. It follows people who have sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass to see if they develop anemia.
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 trial tests whether giving iron through a vein before surgery helps people with stomach (gastric) cancer who need an operation. It may be aimed at improving iron levels around the time of gastrectomy (stomach removal).
