Abstract:
Anemia is an expected consequence of intensive chemotherapy regimens administered to patients with acute leukemia. The authors of this report studied the effect of epoetin alpha on packed erythrocyte transfusions, remission rates, and quality of life. Epoetin alpha decreased the number of erythrocyte transfusions, had no effect on remission rates, and may have had a positive effect on quality of life.
