Description

Oncology emergencies are urgent medical situations that arise in cancer patients, often requiring immediate intervention. Types of Emergencies: Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS): Occurs due to rapid cell destruction, leading to metabolic imbalances. Hypercalcemia: Elevated calcium levels can cause confusion, dehydration, and cardiac issues. Spinal Cord Compression: Results from tumor pressure on the spinal cord, leading to neurological deficits. Superior Vena Cava Syndrome: Obstruction of blood flow in the superior vena cava, causing swelling and respiratory distress. Febrile Neutropenia: Fever in patients with low white blood cell counts, indicating possible infection. Management: Prompt recognition and treatment are critical to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Interventions may include hydration, medications, radiation, or surgical procedures depending on the emergency.
