Abstract

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are used in chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) with the goal of improving quality of life and preventing RBC transfusions. This retrospective database study compared the three currently available ESAs, epoetin alfa (EPO-A), epoetin beta (EPO-B), and darbepoetin alfa (DARB), regarding costs and outcomes.
