Iron deficiency restrains short-term recovery in patients undergoing surgery for advanced ovarian cancer

Severe postoperative complications were more common in patients with iron deficiency, with or without anemia. These analyses indicate that iron deficiency is associated with more advanced disease and complex surgical procedures.
