Dialysis-related practice patterns among hemodialysis patients with cancer.

Among long-term facility-based hemodialysis patients with cancer, we detected no statistically significant differences to suggest that cancer status affects hemodialysis practice regarding mineral and bone disorder management, nutritional management, and dialysis treatment. Facility-based hemodialysis patients with recent cancer treatment, however, receive a higher dose of erythropoietin-stimulating agent than those without cancer.
