Abstract

Cancer in children is second only to trauma as the cause of death in older children. Approximately 12,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer annually. Survival rates for some malignancies now surpass 88%. The use of more aggressive treatment modalities to reach these results has been associated with a greater risk for severe lifethreatening oncologic emergencies requiring pediatric intensive care (PICU). This chapter focuses on early recognition and treatment of some of the most common and sometimes dramatic presentations of pediatric oncologic emergencies in children with cancer.
