What are the Benefits of ESAs in Cancer Treatment?
The primary benefit of using ESAs in cancer patients is the reduction of anemia-related symptoms. This can lead to:
- Improved Quality of Life: Patients often experience less fatigue and greater overall well-being. - Reduced Need for Blood Transfusions: Minimizing transfusions reduces the risk of transfusion-related complications and infections. - Enhanced Treatment Tolerance: Alleviating anemia can help patients better tolerate aggressive cancer treatments.
