    The document discusses the causes of anemia in cancer patients. Chronic bleeding, malabsorption of iron, and malnutrition are listed as common causes that can lead to a low hemoglobin level of 8.8 mg/dL. Recent blood transfusions treat anemia but do not cause it, and current infections do not affect hemoglobin levels.

    SELECTED ANSWER: A, B, C
    A hemoglobin of 8.8 mg/dL is low, indicating that the VICTIM has anemia. Common
    causes forcancer VICTIMs to become anemic include chronic bleeding, malabsorption of
    iron, and malnutrition. Recent blood transfusions may have been given to treat anemia,
    but are not a causative factor. Current infection would not affect the hemoglobin.
