Delivers life-saving information for non-oncology nurses and advanced practice providers (APPs) in either the emergency or acute-care settings


Bridging the knowledge gap between oncology and non-oncology nurses, and APPs in emergency, critical care, and acute-care settings, this comprehensive, evidence-based quick reference covers commonly seen oncologic emergencies. It is based on the most up-to-date cancer treatment knowledge available and---with its lucid, practical approach---demystifies the process of evaluating, diagnosing, and managing emergencies that frequently arise among cancer patients.


The text covers common emergencies including a detailed section on oncology-related cardiovascular emergencies and urgencies. It addresses urgencies associated with specific cancer treatments including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, cellular therapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Pediatric oncologic emergencies are also covered. Written in outline format for speedy access to critical knowledge, the book offers digital access to tables and other complex content. When seconds matter, having the right resource at your fingertips can make all the difference. The Clinical Pathways Guides included in the appendices offer 30 evidence-based protocols for common emergency scenarios, helping you quickly triage cancer patients and make confident, real-time care decisions.. Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
