That is a small dose of retacrit. Epogen and its related products such as retacrit can trigger the growth of solid tumors by studies; however, the risk is low compared with the benefits, especially at low doses. For many years, oncologists have used these products for combating anemia in cancer patients. For patients with advanced kidney disease, its use is a must for avoiding blood transfusion.
