Whether a patient with cancer presents to the ED with cancer-treatment side effects or complications of the disease itself, timely diagnostic workup and evidence-based management strategies can make the difference in their quality of life. This episode reviews management recommendations for 3 ED presentations of oncologic patients: metastatic spinal cord compression, tumor lysis syndrome, and neutropenic fever.
