title: [Perioperative blood transfusion in patients with malignant neoplasms].
abstract: Within 1986-1988, 3,358 patients were treated at the Department of Surgery, Military Teaching Hospital in Bydgoszcz. Hundred twenty six out of these patients were operated for the malignant tumors. Indications to blood transfusion in case of patients with cancer were analysed retrospectively. In our patients about 50% whom blood was given were justified cases. It was found that the analysis of indications based on laboratory findings may decrease the amount of blood given patients who underwent surgery for cancer.
