Purpose Previous trials have suggested a quality-of-life (QOL) improvement for anemic
cancer patients treated with erythropoietin, but few used QOL as the primary outcome. We
designed a trial to investigate the effects of epoetin alfa therapy on the QOL of anemic
patients with advanced non–small-cell carcinoma of the lung (NSCLC).
