肿瘤相关性贫血的中西医研究进展

贫血是肿瘤患者常见的并发症,其发生率及严重程度与性别、年龄、肿瘤类型、分期、化放疗等有关.贫血可引起组织缺氧,使患者生活质量降低,是影响肿瘤患者生活质量的重要因素.贫血程度与化疗疗效、化疗药物的敏感性及耐药性密切相关.贫血患者常规化疗预后较差.低血红蛋白可使肿瘤组织放疗敏感性降低,是放疗患者预后差的独立预后因素.肿瘤相关性贫血的病因是多样的,包括肿瘤自身因素、治疗因素及营养因素等.促红细胞生成素(EPO)的使用是治疗肿瘤相关性贫血的主要方法,可以有效提高患者的血红蛋白水平,改善肿瘤患者的生活质量,提高肿瘤化放疗的疗效.随着中医对肿瘤相关性贫血认识的不断深入,中医药在肿瘤相关性贫血的治疗中取得了良好的疗效.

Progress of Studies on Cancer-related Anemia in Chinese and Western Medicine

Anemia is a common complication of cancer patients.The incidence of cancer-related anemia is associated with gender,age,characteristics of tumor,chemotherapy,and radiotherapy.Being one of the most important factors in the Quality of Life(QOL)of cancer patients,anemia reduces the QOL by inducing tissue hypoxia.Degree of anemia is associated with the efficacy of chemotherapy,sensitivity of chemotherapy agents,and resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy agents.Thus,the prognosis of patients with cancer-relat...
