Hematologic and Oncologic Emergencies

In the past two decades of practicing emergency medicine, there are probably only two major conditions that seem to have markedly increased in my practice: the number of elderly patients we care for and the number of patients with cancer (in their current or past history) that we care for. The increase in elderly patients in our practice has been strongly addressed in recent years in educational conferences, textbooks and journals, and national guidelines. But cancer still seems to be a relatively ignored clinical condition in emergency medicine.
