Acute leukemias and complicated lymphomas: pearls to optimize management when patients stay local
Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program. 2023 Dec 8;2023(1):311-317. doi: 10.1182/hematology.2023000430.ABSTRACTHematologic malignancies often present acutely with a constellation of infectious complications, pancytopenia, tumor lysis, and renal dysfunction. Acute leukemias and aggressive lymphomas often require hospitalization for rapid diagnostic evaluation, urgent management of complicating presentations, and timely management of intensive systemic therapies. There is an emerging paradigm whereby complex cancer care can be safely and effectively provided in the community, where the majority of cancer is treated. A substa...
