Description

Acute tumour lysis syndrome (ATLS) is thankfully a rare complication and is classed as an oncological emergency. It is caused by rapid lysis of malignant cells following treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. ATLS is most associated with chemo responsive tumours such as lymphoma or leukemias, and patients with a high disease burden are at higher risk.

During this webinar I will discuss how to:
• Identify patients who are a high risk
• Hopefully prevent ATLS occurring including monitoring
• Treatment

Learning Objectives

• Be able to identify at risk patients
• To know how to monitor patients at risk patients
• To be able to treat patients
• To be able to educate pet owners on clinical signs and the urgency of the situation
