Abstract
The incidence of cancer is rising. It is important that nurse practitioners are aware of oncologic emergencies that can occur as sequela to the diagnosis. Oncologic emergencies can be acute, life-threatening disorders that arise from either the cancer itself or from treatment. These emergencies require prompt recognition, intervention and treatment to decrease morbidity and mortality. Most oncologic emergencies can be broadly classified as metabolic or structural. This review highlights some common structural and metabolic oncologic emergencies, early identification, diagnosis, and treatments needed to improve quality of life and meaningful survival in this patient population.
