Question: Does everyone with cancer get anemia?

Answer: No. Anemia is a common condition that can be caused by non-cancer (benign) conditions. Some cancers can suppress the body's ability to make blood normally. Some cancer treatments can cause anemia. Many cancer patients will never have anemia; and many people without cancer can develop anemia for other reasons.
