Abstract
Background: Preoperative anemia is a common finding in cancer patients and it is associated with postoperative allogeneic blood transfusions and increased morbidity and mortality. Iron deficiency (ID) is a frequent cause of anemia in cancer patients and constitutes a modifiable risk factor. Preoperative screening for ID and iron suppletion as part of a prehabilitation program can potentially have great impact on postoperative outcomes in pancreatic surgery.
