To improve the anemia of cancer anemia, for most people, is not an unfamiliar word. Tumor patients, anemia is a widespread problem, the majority of cancer patients with anemia will encounter problems. Anemia of cancer, there are two cases: one is anemia caused by the tumor itself.

Tumors have been treated, the patient's anemia is corrected. Another is the treatment of anemia tumor. This is mainly because many chemotherapy drugs are nephrotoxicity, damage to the secretion of erythropoietin in renal tubular epithelial cells. Tubular epithelial cells after injury by drugs, erythropoietin secretion to have been affected, so causing anemia. At that time the most important is the treatment of erythropoietin (EPO) to correct anemia.
