The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends an anemia work-up for patients with hemoglobin of less than 11 g/dL (110 g/L or 6.8 mmol/L). Patients who are symptomatic or asymptomatic with significant risk factors (e.g., extensive transfusion history, myelosuppressive chemotherapy, etc) may qualify for treatment with erythropoietic agents such as epoetin-alfa or darbepoetin. Data do not support the use of one agent over another they are both equally effective in treating this type of anemia.12 Table 63-4 provides dosing recommendations for chemotherapy-related anemia. [Pg.983]
