title: Hemolytic disorders associated with cancer.
abstract: Three principal environmental causes of hemolytic anemia in malignancy have been identified: (1) hemolysis mediated by auto-antibodies to red cells; (2) hemolysis due to microangiopathic disorders; and (3) chemotherapy-induced red cell destruction. These three environmental stressors occur rarely in cancer patients, and they form the subject of this review.
