Chemotherapy-induced anemia

Chemotherapy-induced anemia is a common hematologic complication characterized by a clinically significant reduction in circulating red blood cells and hemoglobin levels in patients undergoing cytotoxic cancer therapy

The condition primarily impacts the hematopoietic system, arising from chemotherapy-mediated myelosuppression that damages rapidly dividing erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, impairs erythropoiesis, and shortens red blood cell survival

This cytotoxic impairment is frequently compounded by underlying inflammatory cytokine production, functional or absolute iron deficiency, and blunted endogenous erythropoietin responsiveness
