Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare end of study hemoglobin levels between Epoetin alfa at 40,000 units administered subcutaneously once every week and at 80,000 units subcutaneously every two weeks in anemic patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the Hb response, time to Hb response, transfusion requirements, and safety.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The end of study Hb. The end of study Hb is defined as the patient's final Hb level, taken 2 weeks after the last dose of PROCRIT or at Week 13, whichever comes first.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Time to 1 g/dL HB increase; Proportion of patients achieving a >= 1 g/dL Hb increase by week for Weeks 5-13; Time to Hb increase of 2 g/dL or achieving Hb of >= 12 g/dL; Proportion of patients achieving a >= 2 g/dL Hb increase or Hb of 12 g/dL by EOS
