Abstract:
Objective To analyze the incidence,severity and morphologic characteristics of anemia in patients with malignant tumors.Methods Five hundred and thirty hospitalized patients with a primary diagnosis of tumor were enrolled in this study at our hospital from Jan.2009 to Mar.2011.Their hemoglobin (Hb) levels,age,sex,and type of tumor were recorded.Anemia was diagnosed to be present when their Hb on admission was less than 110 g/L Results There were 111 in the 530 patients (20.94％) had anemia on admission.Anemia was seen in 35.3％ of patients with digestive system cancer,in 19.4％ with gynecologic cancers,in 18.3％ withlung cancers,in 6.8％ with urinogenital cancers and 1.8％ with breast cancers.The difference of incidence of anemia in different types of cancers was statistically significant ( x2=44.9785,P ＜ 0.01 ).Grade Ⅰ and Ⅱanemia accounted for 15.66％ ; and grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ accounted for 5.28％ of all.There was no significant difference of incidence of anemia between male and female [ 22.36％ ( 72/322 ) vs.18.75％ ( 39/208 ),x2 =1.0020,P ＞ 0.05 ].The more severe the anemia was,the smaller the erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume was.The rate of anemia was 2.08％ when patients were discharged,and 5.66％ were intervened.Conclusion The incidence of anemia was high in patients hospitalized with tumor,but only a small percent got enough medical care.
