  schema:description "During cancer treatment your red cells or platelets may fall. Blood or platelet transfusions are given when the levels fall below set points, or when you are bleeding, rather than to bring the numbers back to normal. Giving less blood at higher thresholds has proved just as safe in trials, and spares people the risks of transfusion."@en ;
