Malignant tumors mostly cause anemia because the tumor consumes nutrients in the patient's body, or the transportation of nutrients is blocked, resulting in anemia. The main symptoms are serious symptoms of digestive tract tumors and mild symptoms of the lungs and other organs. The key to treatment depends on the results of tumor treatment. If the tumor is well treated, the symptoms of anemia will naturally disappear.
What is the anaemia caused by malignant tumors? How should it be treated?
You may not be familiar with tumors, and tumors are mainly divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors are relatively easy to treat, while malignant tumors are more troublesome to treat. Sometimes malignant tumors can cause anemia, which is even more troublesome to treat
1. Causes of anemia caused by malignant tumors
Among patients with malignant tumors, 16% of people will find anemia during treatment, so the incidence rate is very high. The main reasons are: the patient's tumor consumes too much nutrients in the patient's body, resulting in nutritional deficiency; another is anemia caused by bone marrow suppression; another is that the bone marrow is invaded by tumor cells, resulting in total blood cell loss; another important reason is the lack of B12 and iron nutrients after the operation; there is obstruction in the body after the operation; at this time the transportation of nutrients is hindered, which is another important reason.
2. The relationship between symptoms and the degree of anemia
The symptoms of anemia caused by malignant tumors are closely related to the type of tumor and the degree of tumor spread. For example, if it is a digestive tract tumor, the symptoms of anemia will be more serious and will be discovered earlier. Because digestive tract tumors directly affect the digestive system, resulting in abnormal transportation of nutrients and anemia. In lung tumors, the symptoms of anemia are relatively mild and are found later. Because lung tumors do not affect the transportation of nutrients, the symptoms of anemia are mild.
3. How to treat anemia caused by malignant tumors?
The efficacy of anemia caused by malignant tumors mainly depends on the efficacy of malignant tumors. If the malignant tumor is effective, the anemia caused by malignant tumors will gradually decrease as the condition becomes mild.
