    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Nephrology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) is a serious complication of antineoplastic therapy.
    • Untreated TLS can lead to severe metabolic disturbances and life-threatening organ damage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical need for early identification of patients at risk for TLS.
    • To emphasize the importance of prompt intervention in managing TLS complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on TLS.
    • Analysis of potential risks associated with antineoplastic therapies.
    • Discussion of management strategies for metabolic disturbances.

    Main Results:

    • TLS poses a significant risk during cancer treatment.
    • Metabolic derangements in TLS can affect renal, cardiac, and neurologic functions.
    • Decentralization of cancer care necessitates heightened vigilance for TLS.

    Conclusions:

    • Early detection and rapid management of TLS are crucial for patient survival.
    • Proactive identification of at-risk patients is essential, especially with increasing outpatient cancer treatments.
    • Effective TLS management strategies are vital to prevent severe complications.
