Can iron defeciency anemia lead to cancer?

Not by itself: But it often is caused by a hidden cancer, especially in the stomach or colon. And whatever the cause, it's a bad thing in itself, robbing you of energy and the ability to function well.

No: No evidence that it does. But can be a result of cancer.
