Overview / Abstract: |
Designed and developed to maximize digital audience reach and engagement, this Medical Moments webinar will review all clinically relevant aspects of cancer-related anemia (CRA) management, including chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA). The activity will begin with a brief primer on iron metabolism and absorption principles, including the practical distinctions between absolute and functional iron deficiency, and the impact of that distinction on treatment approaches. An appraisal of the foundational pathophysiology of CRA will follow, with a central emphasis on the role of hepcidin in a hyperinflammatory disease state like cancer, and the resultant rationale for the preferential use of intravenous (IV) iron versus oral iron modalities in patients with cancer. Finally, the preeminent emphasis of the session will be an incisive exploration of completed, ongoing, and planned clinical trials of IV iron for CRA/CIA, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as well as recently-reported pivotal trials, such as IRON-CLAD. |
