ABSTRACT

Anaemia is a frequent complication of prostate cancer and of its treatments. In Europe prostate cancer accounts for the 10.8% of all malignant neoplasms. Iatrogenic hypogonadism and age-related physiologic changes along with nutritional deficits contribute to increase prevalence of prostate cancer related anaemia. The reason of the present review is to provide clinicians with all aspects of a frequent and multifactorial co-morbidity, whose effects are often underestimated. Erythropoiesis pathology and causes of anaemia in prostate cancer are reviewed. Critical issues of clinical management of anaemia in prostate cancer are discussed.
