Oropharyngeal Cancer in a Thalassemic Patient: Role of Iron Overload in Carcinogenesis
The thalassemia syndromes are inherited α and β globin biosynthesis disorders. Patients with β thalassemia major require intensive blood transfusions to survive. Chronic blood transfusions can lead to blood-borne infections, alloimmunization, febrile reactions, and lethal iron overload. With the rec...
