Abstract

This comprehensive review addresses the intricate challenges surrounding blood transfusion protocols for breast cancer patients living with HIV. The coexistence of these two conditions introduces unique hematologic complications, necessitating a nuanced approach to optimize transfusion strategies. The review delves into the spectrum of hematologic complications, exploring anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia, while critically analyzing current transfusion practices. Additionally, emerging strategies, such as individualized thresholds and advanced transfusion technologies, are examined. By synthesizing existing knowledge and recent developments, this review aims to contribute valuable insights into refining blood transfusion protocols, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes for this complex and vulnerable population.
