Integrating IV Iron into Cancer Care: An Expert Overview of Best Practices

Designed as a dynamic, intensive, and innovative web-based activity, this session will take learners on an in-depth exploration of cancer-related anemia (CRA) and chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) as disease states of vast clinical significance, emphasizing the robust prevalence, pathophysiology, and patient burden of CRA/CIA, as well as the prominent role of iron deficiency (ID) in their pathogenesis. Built upon on this foundation, expert faculty will guide attendees through a succinct but comprehensive review of the IV iron evidentiary base in CRA/CIA, including clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and the latest expert consensus guideline recommendations from the NCCN, ASCO/ASH, and ESMO. Practical clinical pearls for safely and effectively implementing IV iron into the real-world hematology/oncology clinic will be emphasized.
