Statistics on the outlook for a certain type and stage of cancer are often given as 5-year survival rates, but many people live longer â often much longer â than 5 years. The 5-year survival rate is the percentage of people who live at least 5 years after being diagnosed with cancer. For example, a 5-year survival rate of 90% means that an estimated 90 out of 100 people who have that cancer are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed. Keep in mind, however, that many of these people live much longer than 5 years after diagnosis.
Iron Deficiency Anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia. It accounts for approximately 50-percent of the diagnosed cases of anemia. Iron deficiency anemia can result from inadequate iron intake, decreased iron absorption, increased iron demand, or increased iron loss.
In fact, most of the human body 's iron is contained in red blood cells' hemoglobin, and iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. When body levels of iron are too low, then hepcidin in the duodenal epithelium is decreased.
