Abstract
The guidelines issued recently by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) for the management of cancer-related anaemia [1] are a welcome addition to previously published guidelines [2]. In recent years the impact of anaemia on patient outcomes and quality of life (QOL) has been highlighted vis-à-vis the availability of effective anaemia treatments beyond blood transfusion. The recognition that anaemia and resulting fatigue are not inevitable consequences of cancer treatment, and that performance status and QOL are improved when anaemia is controlled, is a great stride forward.
