Description
Yawen Zheng and co-authors link blood transfusion around surgery to worse outlook in ovarian cancer. Their 2023 study reviews 314 women treated for epithelial ovarian cancer. Surgery for advanced disease is extensive, and transfusions are common.
About two in five women received red cells around their operation. That group saw more relapses and more deaths. After adjustment, transfusion went with roughly 60 percent higher risk of both death and return of disease. Stays grew longer and bills higher in the transfused group as well. The authors urge care in transfusion choices, while noting sicker patients may need more blood.
