Bodurka DC. How low should we go: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of restrictive red blood cell transfusion strategies in oncology. Cancer treatment reviews. 2016 May;46(46). 1-8. NIHMSID: NIHMS774900.
Abstract
Most non-oncologic clinical practice guidelines recommend restrictive allogeneic blood transfusion practices; however, there is a lack of consensus regarding the best transfusion practice in oncology. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to compare the efficacy and safety of restrictive versus liberal transfusion strategies in patients with cancer.
