Abstract:
The problem of blood replacement in the individual cancer patient remains unanswered. On present evidence, such a patient must be assumed to be drawn from a population with a mean total blood volume and mean red-cell volume below normal and thus must be assumed to have a better-than-even chance of having a depleted volume. However, it does not necessarily follow that transfusion is necessary; this should ideally be assessed by blood volume determination in each individual case.
