Réanimation médicale et chirurgicale en oncologie

With the emergence of promising new cancer therapies, such as immunotherapy and CAR-T cells, the prognosis for oncology patients has improved considerably, but this has also brought with it a host of new complications, changing the indications and reasons for admission to intensive care.

Divided into five sections, this educational tool provides an overview of :

• complications associated with solid cancer and its surgical treatment ;

• Inaugural and infectious complications associated with hematological diseases;

• complications associated with new immunological therapies;

• supportive care and oncological pain management;

• palliative and end-of-life care.

This book brings together the theoretical and practical principles and protocols of medical, surgical and hematological onco-resuscitation. It is a unique and innovative tool to help resuscitation physicians understand new cancer therapies.

Bringing together a large team of authors from a wide range of disciplines, this book is intended for intensive care and resuscitation practitioners, anesthesiologists, interns and practicing or trainee nurses working in continuing care and resuscitation departments caring for oncology patients.
