Coming soonAnemia due to chemotherapy and radiotherapy combination is a secondary hematologic complication characterized by an abnormally low concentration of circulating erythrocytes or hemoglobin in cancer patients receiving concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy.
This condition results from compounding toxicities against the hematologic and bone marrow systems, wherein systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy suppresses erythroid progenitor differentiation while radiation directly damages proliferative hematopoietic stem cells within the targeted radiation fields.
Additional contributing factors often include treatment-related nephrotoxicity impairing endogenous erythropoietin production, localized inflammatory cytokine surges, and functional iron deficiency.
Clinically, affected individuals present with manifestations of impaired systemic oxygen transport, including debilitating fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, tachycardia, dizziness, and pale mucous membranes.
