Authored by Monica Kathleen Wattana, this indispensable handbook is a treasure trove of information on treating cancer patients in emergency and urgent care settings. The book offers a concise, evidence-based approach to demystifying the processes of evaluating, diagnosing, and managing emergencies that arise in the cancer patient population.
The first part of the book provides an in-depth overview of cancer, anti-cancer treatment, and pain and palliative care in the emergency department. This foundation sets the stage for the systems-based approach that follows, covering various cancer complications and their management.
The handbook delves into the intricacies of neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, respiratory, lymphatic system, and integumentary cancer complications. This comprehensive approach enables medical practitioners to develop a deeper understanding of the complex needs of cancer patients.
The book also explores the side effects of cancer treatments, including pain, delirium, dyspnea, and immunotherapy-related adverse events. This valuable information helps bridge the gap between oncologic advancements and emergency medicine, ensuring that medical practitioners are better equipped to provide quality care to cancer patients.
With 156 pages of practical guidance, this essential resource is a must-have for any acute care medical practitioner treating cancer patients. Published by Cambridge University Press, this first edition (August 24, 2023) is a testament to the author’s expertise and commitment to improving patient outcomes.
