Book Description
Anaemia, or lack of red blood cells, is common, and can be a symptom of a serious underlying disorder. It has a number of causes, and this book stresses that it's vital to find and treat these, rather than simply prescribing iron tablets. Iron tablets do have their place in treatment, but this is rarely the full answer and priority must be given to discovering the underlying cause.

Anemia is associated with reduced survival, increased risk of functional dependence and hospitalization, increased risk of congestive heart failure and stage renal disease and cognitive disorders. Approximately 70% of anemia in older individuals is reversible.

More than one in three people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer during their lives, and radiotherapy is the most widely used form of treatment for cancer.
