Iron is a crucial mineral for our organism and its deficiency can cause serious health problems such as anaemia, fatigue, and impaired physical fitness. It has been shown that anaemia or iron deficiency is very common in patients with cancer. These patients benefit from iron supplementation either in intravenous or oral form. Our patient is a 67-year-old Russian woman with pancreatic cancer diagnosed in 2019. She fought off lymphocytic leukaemia in 2015. She refused treatment for her pancreatic cancer. The specific type of pancreatic cancer was not specified as the patient chose not to undergo targeted testing. Between March 2020 and February 2023, she took the dietary supplement Synthesit for three cycles (1 cycle lasted about a month).
