Predictive factors for the development of anemia after hematopoietic stem cell donation.

Background: Although Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) donation through bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) are usually safe procedures, adverse events are expected. One of the most common events especially among BM donors (BMD) is the development of anemia. To protect the BMD and preserve the hemoglobin levels, many centers collect autologous pre-procedure blood, but the actual benefits of this procedure is controversial.

Evaluation of the systemic and therapeutic repercussions caused by drug interactions in oncology patients.

Introduction: Drug interaction is an important cause of global morbidity. It is of particular importance in cancer patients since they are often in use of polypharmacy, related to interactions between the drugs and the chemotherapeutics used.

Objective: To evaluate the drug interaction between chemotherapy and other drugs in cancer patients.
