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.
