Abstract
A study of erythrocyte metabolism and membrane status has identified the structurally and metabolically deranged mature erythrocytes, both in anemic and anemia-free patients with stage III-IV lung cancer. Anemia incidence in non-small-cell lung cancer was significantly higher than in the small-cell lung cancer group.
