The paper presents etiology and pathogenesis of anaemia in patients with neoplastic diseases. The characteristics and effects of erythropoietin are reviewed. The results of randomised clinical trials on the use of erythropoietin in cancer patients treated with radiotherapy and radiochemotherapy are presented.
