Abstract
Three principal environmental causes of hemolytic anemia in malignancy have been identified: (1) hemolysis mediated by autoantibodies to red cells; (2) hemolysis due to microangiopathic disorders; and (3) chemo therapy-induced red cell destruction. These three environmental stress ors occur rarely in cancer patients, and they form the subject of this review.
