Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This study is planned as a prospective randomised controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of parenteral iron supplementation using ferric carboy maltose in patients undergoing treatment (chemotherapy/ surgery) for epithelial ovarian cancer. 30 patients each will be included in the interventional and control arm. the intervention group will receive parenteral iron if the haemoglobin is less than 10gm%. The control group will be treated with oral iron. Primary outcomes measured will be improvement in haemoglobin and number of units of blood transfused.
