Pre-surgery iron treatment for bone tumor surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
