Detailed Description
Patients included into the study will have a laboratory work-up assessing the occurence of functional iron deficiency using laboratory parameters (full blood count, reticulocytes, transferrin saturation, serum-ferritin, CRP, ALAT) and have to fill in once the FACT-An questionnaire generating data on Quality of Life at time of study entry.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The primary endpoint is the determination of the prevalence of FID in patients with oncological and with haematological malignancies. [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Prevalence of functional iron deficiency in the study population using full blood count, reticulocytes, transferrin saturation, serum-ferritin, CRP and ALAT.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The secondary endpoint is the collection of data on quality of life using FACT-An. [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Data on quality of life using FACT-An, which covers a fatigue and anemia subscale, as well as generic QoL domains including physical well-being, functional well-being, emotional well-being and socal well-being subscales - this is done at study entry estimating scores at various subscales of FACT-An.
