2003 Vienna Symposium

Forum on Optimal Management of Anemia

At Optimizing Hemoglobin Levels and Beyond: Strength for Living and Meaningful Survival?, the 3^rd International Educational Symposium on Advances in Cancer Anemia Management (Vienna, Austria; 2003), internationally recognized experts, clinicians from different specialties, cancer survivors, and scientists gathered to present the latest and most significant developments in the management of anemia in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

Several presentations focused on issues surrounding the quality of life for patients with cancer. Specific topics included the optimum dosing and efficacy of epoetins, the magnitude of the challenges cancer patients with anemia face, and the role of blood transfusions in managing cancer-associated anemia. Presentations also discussed new dosing regimens for epoetin alfa and efficacy evaluation of anemia treatments.
