Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Impact of an epoetin alpha biosimilar with or without iron supplementation on chemotherapy-induced anemiaPatients are included at the time of the epoetin alpha biosimilar treatment initiation for chemotherapy-induced anemia and followed up to 12 to 16 weeks

The efficiency of epoetin alpha biosimilar will be assessed by the responders'rate according to European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines. This rate will be compared depending on the iron supplementation.

The safety will be assessed by the record of adverse effects (serious or not) and treatment discontinuation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Experience of patients treated with Retacrit®At 12 to 16 weeks from baseline or at the end of chemotherapy
Characteristics of patients receiving treatment with an epoetin alpha biosimilar, Retacrit®, for chemotherapy induced anaemiaBaseline visit
Impact of iron supplementation on the doses of Retacrit® used, and on treatment durationAt 12 to 16 weeks from baseline or at the end of chemotherapy
Procedures for evaluating possible iron deficiency and iron supplementationAt 12 to 16 weeks from baseline or at the end of chemotherapy
