This second edition of Oncologic Emergency Medicine: Principles and Practice has broadened
the scope of emergency care for the oncological patient and rightfully so. More patients
are living with cancer than ever before. Many cancer diagnoses are associated with greatly
extended lifespans. With greater lifespan, cancer survivors are also at risk of acquiring complications
from their past medical, radiation, or surgical care, in addition to an underlying
cancer.
Today’s patient living with a current or prior cancer diagnosis lives within a network ofhealth care providers. The emergency physician and the oncologist must understand not only
the underlying pathophysiology of the disease and its treatment, but also appreciate how
patients present in distress and how care is optimized to meet the needs of the patient. Indeed,
while using best practice options, the team of health care providers personalizes each patient’s
treatment, stabilization, and recovery to optimize outcomes, seeking to match the expectations
of the patient and family.
This edition also seeks to extend our understanding of health disparities and vulnerablepopulations, international approaches to oncological emergencies, and other topics on the
cutting-edge cancer research, treatment, and management. The editors are to be congratulated
for extending their earlier work and both recognizing and anticipating the needs of care providers
in oncologic emergency medicine. They have provided a powerful tool to enhance the care
provided to cancer patients.
