ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 146 patients with cancer assisted in the Chemotherapy Service of "Conrado Benítez García" Teaching Oncological Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from January to June, 2015, aimed at describing the variation of anemias before and after having applied the chemotherapy, according to variables such as age, sex, tumoral localization, degree of anemia and cytostatic agent. In the series the patients aged 41-60 years (46.5%) and the breast cancer (62.3%) prevailed, and the mean hemoglobin before and after the treatment were 113.08 and 104.77 g/L, respectively. Before receiving the cytostatic 110 patients (75.6%) suffered from anemia, mainly in the light form (60.0%). The association between the degrees of anemias and the treatment with platinums was not demonstrated; nevertheless, there was a higher number of patients with anemia after the chemotherapy, mainly in the light degree.REFERENCES
