Critical care in cancer patients is complex and different from routine care for non-malignant patients. These patients are immunocompromised, malnourished and have specific concerns due to cancer-related complications, treatment-related toxicities, and severe infections. The intensivist must understand about pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of common cancer-related issues. The optimal management of cancer patients requires expertise in oncology, critical care, and palliative medicine. There is a dearth of books explaining about critical care needs of cancer patients comprehensively. So, we felt the need for a book that is comprehensive and provides insight into the care of cancer patients in the intensive care unit.
