Sleep disorders and more particularly insomnias are very frequently found in cancer patients. We notice a growing interest for this subject in the current literature. ⋯ Nevertheless, these insomnias represent a real discomfort for these patients, with not insignificant repercussions on their quality of life. It is important to be able to screen these disorders with a detailed and precised interview allowing a global patient care including pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment.

Anemia in oncology is no longer seen only as a side effect of chemotherapies. This comorbidity may be multifactorial, clinically and, for example, may be rather chronic when the patient has chronic renal failure associated, resulting in renal anemia. Similarly, the presence of iron deficiency, which can be solely responsible or contributing factor of anemia, is also a factor to be taken into account in both the diagnosis and exploration of anemia and in its treatment, requiring the use of injectable iron complexes for treatment, if necessary in combination with an erythropoiesis agent stimulating.
