Description
Sara Haj Ali and co-authors describe a 2026 study of gut cancer in people with low iron but no anemia. Care guides clearly urge scope checks when low iron comes with anemia. They are far less clear when blood counts stay normal, so many such patients may go unchecked.
The team reviewed adults who got both upper and lower scope checks for low iron at two hospitals in Jordan. Cancer rates were much the same in the anemia group and the no anemia group, near two in a hundred. Colon cancer was the most common type found. All stomach cancers sat in the no anemia group. Age was the lone clear risk flag. The authors suggest scope checks for all low iron patients, above all older ones.
