  schema:description "Chemotherapy often lowers the red blood cells, causing tiredness and breathlessness. Your team should first look for other causes such as low iron or blood loss. If the treatment is not aimed at cure, injections that stimulate red cell production (ESAs) or a blood transfusion are options; if the aim is cure, ESAs are not used because of their risks."@en ;
