Brief Summary: RATIONALE Epoetin alfa may stimulate red blood cell production and treat anemia in patients with solid tumors It is not yet known whether epoetin alfa given once a week is more effective than epoetin alfa given once every 3 weeks in treating anemia

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of epoetin alfa in treating anemia in patients who have solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the effects of 2 different schedules of epoetin alfa on decreasing transfusion requirements in anemic patients with nonmyeloid cancer
Compare the effects of these regimens on increasing hemoglobin levels in these patients
Compare the effects of these regimens on overall quality of life QOL and anemia-specific components of QOL in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to concurrent chemotherapy or radiotherapy yes vs no concurrent platinum-based cisplatin or carboplatin chemotherapy yes vs no degree of anemia mild hemoglobin at least 90 gdL vs severe hemoglobin less than 90 gdL age 60 and under vs over 60 and type of neoplasm plasma cell disorder including multiple myeloma or lymphoproliferative disorder including non-Hodgkins lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia vs all other neoplasms

All patients receive epoetin alfa EPO subcutaneously SC once weekly for 3 weeks Patients are then randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms
