Emergencies in Oncology” is an evidence-based clinical reference that addresses the full spectrum of acute and life-threatening complications encountered in patients with cancer.The book is organized into nine thematic sections, encompassing metabolic, hematologic, neurologic, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and treatment-related emergencies, along with special chapters on pediatric and pregnancy-associated oncologic crises.Each chapter follows a practical structure — definition, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic workup, management, and summary — aligned with global oncology guidelines.It also highlights ethical, supportive, and palliative aspects of emergency care, making it equally valuable to specialists and general practitioners alike.Written in clear, accessible language, this textbook serves as a reliable resource for radiation oncologists, gynecologists, medical oncologists, residents, and all healthcare professionals involved in the acute management of cancer patients.
