For what condition is Darbepoetin not indicated when anticipated outcome is cure?

  1. Cancer

  2. Chronic kidney disease

  3. Rheumatoid arthritis

  4. Diabetes

The correct answer is: Cancer

Darbepoetin is a medication used to stimulate red blood cell production in conditions where anemia is a concern. In cases where the anticipated outcome is a cure, such as in the treatment of cancer, using Darbepoetin may not be indicated. This is because the drug is typically used to manage anemia associated with chronic conditions like chronic kidney disease or certain types of arthritis. In the context of cancer treatment, the focus is on treating the cancer itself rather than managing associated anemia, hence Darbepoetin may not be appropriate in this scenario.
