This text provides a comprehensive textbook summarizing the presentation, workup, and surgical solutions for common emergencies in the cancer patient. The use of medications (antibiotics, hormones, and biologic therapies)&nbsp;and&nbsp;interventional radiologic procedures as adjuncts or as replacements for the surgical solutions&nbsp;are discussed. The text covers emergencies&nbsp;that&nbsp;result as adverse effects for the systemic and local treatments for cancer, emergencies that&nbsp;result from mechanical issues with the cancer and those that result from surviving major extirpative surgery. Diagnosis and treatment of patients' immune-compromised or thrombocytopenic status&nbsp;from chemotherapy is discussed, as is surgical treatment in patients with prior complex surgical therapy or radiation treatment. Finally, the text covers&nbsp;alternatives to surgery, including new interventional radiologic and endoscopic&nbsp;procedures.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div> <i>Surgical Emergencies in the Cancer Patient</i>&nbsp;will be of great value to healthcare professionals at all levels who are involved in the treatment of emergencies in the cancer patient. It is meant for a wide group of individuals, including&nbsp;medical students, residents in surgery and internal medicine, fellows in surgery and oncology, and practicing oncologists and surgeons. This work is meant to be a textbook for the student, a guide for the practitioner, and a reference for the general oncologist.</div>
