There is an the unmet need for educational activities designed to close the gap in knowledge for physicians who treat or manage patients with cancer-related anemia. This program is centered around improving medical practices and patient care for those who are diagnosed with cancer-related iron deficiency anemia and will feature a mix of didactic and discussion sessions. This satellite will aim to provide an overview of pathophysiologic mechanisms and prevalence of cancer-related iron deficiency anemia, current applications of iron supplementation including a breakdown of oral versus IV iron, case discussions, and what oncologists/hematologists can do to address challenges with diagnosis and management of patients.
