PurposeRecombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is the standard of care for patients with chemotherapy-related anemia. Intravenous (IV) iron improves hemoglobin (Hb) response and decreases dosage requirements in patients with anemia of kidney disease, but its effect has not been studied in randomized trials in cancer patients.MethodsThis prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial enrolled 157 patients with chemotherapy-related anemia (Hb less than or equal to 105 g/L, serum ferritin less than or equal to 450 pmol/L or : 675 pmol/L with transferrin saturation less than or equal to 19%) receiving subcutaneously rHuEPO 40,000 U once weekly to: (1) no-iron; (2) oral iron 325 mg twice daily; (3) iron dextran repeated 100mg IV bolus; or (4) iron dextran total dose infusion (TDI), Hb and quality of life (QOL) were measured at baseline and throughout.ResultsAll groups showed Hb (P
