Evidence for improved prognosis of colorectal cancer diagnosed following the detection of iron deficiency anaemia

Abstract Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is common in colorectal cancer (CRC), especially, in right-sided CRC which is known to have an overall worse prognosis. The associations between diagnostic pathway (Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP), IDA, symptomatic) and tumour side/stage was assessed us...
