ESMO Expert Commentary | Roxadustat Non-inferior to Standard Treatment, Poised to Transform Clinical Practice in Chemotherapy-Induced Anemia
Platinum-based, taxane, anthracycline, and other chemotherapy drugs are commonly used in the treatment of various cancers such as breast and lung cancer. However, these chemotherapy agents, known marrow suppressors, can lead to chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA), resulting in a decline in functional capacity and diminished quality of life for patients. This year's ESMO conference revealed the results of a Phase III clinical study on roxadustat in treating CIA in patients with non-myeloid malignancies, offering a more convenient treatment option for CIA patients. "Oncology Frontier" is honored to invite Professor Yongmei Yin from Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital and Professor Jian Zhang from Fudan University Cancer Hospital to share insights into the current challenges in CIA treatment and the significance of this study for CIA patients.
