Emergency conditions in oncology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786205779460)

Cancer is often seen as a long-term disease with insidious onset of symptoms and signs. However, there are often clinical conditions that require urgent evaluation and treatment. Most cancer emergencies occur early in the course of the disease and are related to the severity of the tumor process or the effects of chemotherapy drugs, but some may occur later in the course of treatment. Cancer patients should always be evaluated in the same way as patients without disease. A comprehensive clinical examination of each patient will help identify problems early on.This book reviews the medical conditions common to patients with malignant tumors. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) clinical protocols and other current protocols for the management of emergency conditions in cancer patients are displayed.Each chapter is accompanied by a recommended reading list. Examples of clinical tasks with a step-by-step algorithm of actions are considered.The book will be useful to all physicians who nobly treat this disease.
