Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: ? Patient who has signed a written consent ? Age = 19 ? Histologically diagnosed advanced/metastatic solid cancer ? Patients who have received myelosuppressive chemotherapy for palliative purposes within 1 month of participating in the study and plan to proceed with chemotherapy while participating in this study ?

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: ? Absolute iron deficiency (serum ferritin <30 ng/mL AND transferrin saturation <20%) or no iron deficiency (serum ferritin =800 ng/mL OR transferrin saturation =50%) ? If there is another cause of anemia other than chemotherapy-induced anemia (eg, vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency, hemolytic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, etc.) ? Ongoing bleeding at the time of study registration ? Patients who require rapid blood transfusion at the time of study registration (eg, rapidly progressing anemia) ? Presence of bone marrow tumor invasion ?
