AB  - Oncologic  emergencies  can  result  from  either  the  cancer  or  its  treatment.  Cancer  patients  often  have  immunologic,  metabolic,  and  hematologic  defects,  which  can  lead  to  complex  emergency  conditions  when  they  present  to  an  emergency  center.  In  addition,  emergencies  resulting  from  comorbid  conditions  also  occur  in  cancer  patients.  It  is  important  for  practitioners  who  treat  patients  with  cancer  to  be  aware  of  the  various  oncologic  emergencies  so  that  they  can  be  recognized  and  treated  promptly.  This  chapter  discusses  many  of  these  emergencies,  including  their  signs  and  symptoms,  causes,  and  management.
