Erythropoietin for the treatment of anemia associated with hematological malignancyT J Littlewood
Department of Haematology, Oxford Radcliffe NHS Trust, Oxford OX3 9DU, UK
Hematol Oncol 19:19-30. 2001..A recent study also suggests that improving the hemoglobin level may improve the patients' prognosis but this finding needs to be confirmed...
Effects of epoetin alfa on hematologic parameters and quality of life in cancer patients receiving nonplatinum chemotherapy: results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trialT J Littlewood
John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom

Department of Haematology, Oxford Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK
Front Radiat Ther Oncol 37:34-7. 2002
Telomere length shortening is associated with disease evolution in chronic myelogenous leukemiaJ Boultwood
Department of Cellular Science, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom

Outcome of second allogeneic transplants using reduced-intensity conditioning following relapse of haematological malignancy after an initial allogeneic transplantB E Shaw
Department of Haematology, Royal Marsden Hospital, Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK
Bone Marrow Transplant 42:783-9. 2008..014). These data support our hypothesis that the second RIC allograft results in a lower TRM than using MA. A proportion of patients achieved a sustained remission even when relapsing after a previous MA transplant...
The impact of hemoglobin levels on treatment outcomes in patients with cancerT J Littlewood
Department of Haematology, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK
Semin Oncol 28:49-53. 2001..Recent studies have suggested that increasing hemoglobin levels with recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO, epoetin alfa) have resulted in better outcomes following radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and the combined-treatment modality...
Is normalising haemoglobin in patients with CKD harmful and if so, why?T J Littlewood
Department of Haematology, Cancer and Haematology Centre, Churchill Hospital, Old Rd, Oxford OX37LJ, UK
J Ren Care 35:25-8. 2009..0 g/dl. The mechanism for this increased risk is uncertain...
Alemtuzumab markedly reduces chronic GVHD without affecting overall survival in reduced-intensity conditioning sibling allo-SCT for adults with AMLR K Malladi
Department of Haematology, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK
Bone Marrow Transplant 43:709-15. 2009..02). In conclusion, alemtuzumab has a beneficial effect by reducing chronic GVHD without affecting overall survival. Further studies are warranted before alemtuzumab can be recommended as standard in RIC allografts for AML...

Blood Rev 26:65-71. 2012..Finally, the management of a patient with ACD is discussed including erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs), intravenous iron and future therapies...
Granulocyte and erythropoietic stimulating proteins after high-dose chemotherapy for myelomaT J Littlewood
Department of Haematology, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK
Bone Marrow Transplant 40:1147-55. 2007..The clinical value of these laboratory findings is uncertain and the role of these agents after high-dose chemotherapy remains a subject for debate...

Department of Haematology, Oxford Radcliffe NHS Trust, Oxford, UK
Br J Haematol 141:751-6. 2008..The data supporting the efficacy of intravenous iron instead of oral iron in this setting are increasingly persuasive but larger randomised trials are needed before definitive recommendations are made...
Phase II study of the oxygen saturation curve left shifting agent BW12C in combination with the hypoxia activated drug mitomycin C in advanced colorectal cancerD J Propper
ICRF Medical Oncology Unit, Churchill Hospital, Headington, Oxford, UK
Br J Cancer 82:1776-82. 2000..However, BW12C in combination with MMC for 5-FU-resistant colorectal cancer is not an effective regimen. This could be related to drug resistance rather than a failure to enhance cytotoxicity...
