Do you transfuse anemic head and neck cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation?  

If so, when? Although anemia is associated with worse local control in HN cancer, I don't know of any data that shows that blood transfusions can help. Additionally, my institution has a blanket policy against transfusing patients who are asymptomatic.
