Unrecognized Anemia After Whipple - Should We Learn from Gastric Bypass?
CONCLUSIONS: All patients remained anemic after pancreatoduodenectomy. This was not linked to chemotherapy. Iron and vitamin B12 supplementation, given in a minority, did not ameliorate the anemia. Future studies should investigate this lack of aid, as nutrient supplementation may be an important change in the standard of care of these patients.
