Abstract

While iron deficiency (ID) in cancer patients is frequent, it is likely under-diagnosed and under-treated, in particular in patients without anaemia or at an early stage of the disease. Also, ID diagnosis is rarely based on the transferrin coefficient saturation (TSAT) which is very sensitive in patients with inflammatory diseases. We previously showed that ID was frequent in patients under metastatic treatment. Here, we aimed to assess the prevalence of ID based on TSAT index in cancer patients treated at an early stage of the disease.
