Tumor lysis syndrome is caused by massive tumor cell lysis and release of electrolytes into circulation, potentially causing kidney damage. Risk factors include large tumor burden, rapid proliferation, sensitivity to treatment, preexisting kidney conditions, and inadequate hydration or electrolyte control. Prevention focuses on aggressive hydration, uric acid reduction via allopurinol or rasburicase, electrolyte management, and sometimes dialysis for severe cases.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a potentially life-threatening
syndrome that occurs primarily in hospitalized patients
and frequently complicates the course of critically ill
patient.
Acute Kidney Injury is is (abrupt) reduction in kidney functions as evidence by changed in laboratory values; serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and urine output
Tumor Lysis Syndrome
The most common disease-related emergency encountered by physicians caring for children or adults with hematologic cancers
When tumor cells release their contents into the bloodstream, either spontaneously or in response to therapy-
leading to the characteristic findings of
hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and
hypocalcemia
Electrolyte and metabolic disturbances- progress to clinical toxic effects- including
-renal insufficiency,
-cardiac arrhythmias,
-seizures, and
-death due to multiorgan failure
Laboratory tumor lysis syndrome : Requires that two or more of the metabolic abnormalities occur within 3 days before or up to 7 days after the initiation of therapy
Clinical tumor lysis syndrome: Laboratory tumor lysis syndrome is accompanied by an increased creatinine level, seizures, cardiac dysrhythmia, or death.
IN MALIGNANCIES
–high proliferative rate,
–large tumor burden,
–high sensitivity to treatment-
Initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy,
Cytolytic antibody therapy,
Radiation therapy,
Sometimes glucocorticoid therapy alone
Rapid lysis of tumor cells!!!!!
Releases massive quantities of intracellular contents:
K+ , phosphate, and nucleic acids

Tumor lysis occurs when cancer cells release their contents into the blood stream, either spontaneously or following antineoplastic therapy leading to an influx of electrolytes and nucleic acids into the circulation.
The sudden development of hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia and hyperphosphatemia can have life-threatening end-organ effects on the myocardium, kidneys and CNS.
Hypocalcemia is a consequence of hyperphosphatemia in TLS.
Symptoms are variable from the metabolic derangements of TLS.
This presentation focuses on main and most common oncological emergencies that are required by any stagiaire or junior doctor.
This presentation based on three books mainly, Davison’s principles and practice of medicine, pocket guide to oncological emergencies and ESMO hand book of oncological emergencies, in addition to some researches.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
2. Definition
• Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an
oncologic emergency that is
caused by massive tumor cell lysis
with the release of large amounts
of potassium, phosphate, and
nucleic acids into the systemic
circulation.
3. PATHOGENESIS
• In the setting of a malignancy with a high
proliferative rate, large tumor burden, and/or
a high sensitivity to treatment, initiation of
cytotoxic chemotherapy, cytolytic antibody
therapy, radiation therapy, or sometimes
glucocorticoid therapy alone can result in the
rapid lysis of tumor cells.
4. PATHOGENESIS
This releases massive quantities of intracellular
contents (potassium, phosphate, and nucleic
acids that can be metabolized to uric acid) into
the systemic circulation.
The metabolic consequences include
– hyperkalemia,
– hyperphosphatemia,
– secondary hypocalcemia,
– hyperuricemia, and acute kidney injury.
These electrolyte and metabolic disturbances can progress to clinical toxic
effects, including renal insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and
death due to multiorgan failure.
5. PATHOGENESIS
High levels of both uric acid and phosphate increase
the severity of acute kidney injury because uric acid
precipitates readily in the presence of calcium
phosphate crystals, and calcium phosphate
precipitates readily in the presence of uric acid
crystals.
6.
7. Criteria for Classification of Laboratory
Tumor Lysis Syndrome
Metabolic Abnormality Criteria for Classification of Lab TLS
Hyperuricemia > 8.0 mg/dl (475.8 μmol/liter) in adults or
above the upper limit of the normal range for
age in children
Hyperphosphatemia > 4.5 mg/dl (1.5 mmol/liter) in adults or
> 6.5 mg/dl (2.1 mmol/liter) in children
Hyperkalemia > 6.0 mmol/liter
Hypocalcemia Corrected calcium <7.0 mg/dl (1.75 mmol/liter)
or ionized calcium <1.12 (0.3 mmol/liter)†
Two or more metabolic abnormalities must be present during the same
24-hour period within 3 days before the start of therapy or up to 7 days
afterward
† The corrected calcium level in milligrams per deciliter = measured calcium
level in milligrams per deciliter + 0.8 × (4 − albumin in grams per deciliter)
8. Criteria for Classification of
Clinical Tumor Lysis Syndrome
• Laboratory Criteria Plus One or more of the following
– Cardiac dysrhythmia or sudden death probably or
definitely caused by hyperkalemia
– Cardiac dysrhythmia, sudden death, seizure,
neuromuscular irritability, hypotension, or heart failure
probably or definitely caused by hypocalcemia
– Increase in the serum creatinine level of 0.3 mg/dl
(26.5 μmol/liter) (or a single value >1.5 times the upper
limit of the age-appropriate normal range if no baseline
creatinine measurement is available) or the presence of
oliguria, defined as an average urine output of <0.5
ml/kg/hr for 6 hr

9. Risk Factors for the Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
• Categories of Risk Factors
1. Cancer mass
2. Cell lysis potential
3. Features on patient presentation
4. Supportive care
10. Risk Factors for the Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
Risk Factor Comment
Bulky tumor or
extensive metastasis
The larger the cancer mass or the higher the number of
cells that will lyse with treatment, the higher the risk of
clinical tumor lysis syndrome.
Organ infiltration by
cancer cells
Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and nephromegaly generally
represent tumor infiltration into these organs, and
therefore a larger tumor burden than that of patients
without these findings.
Bone marrow
involvement
Healthy adults have 1.4 kg of bone marrow.
A marrow that has been replaced by leukemic cells
contains a cancer mass greater than 1 kg and therefore
represents bulky disease.
Renal infiltration or
outflow-tract
obstruction
Decreased urine flow predispose to nephropathy from
other causes, such as the tumor lysis syndrome.
1. Cancer mass:-
11. Risk Factors for the Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
Risk Factor Comment
High rate of
proliferation of
cancer cells
Lactate dehydrogenase level is a surrogate for tumor
proliferation.
The higher the level, the greater the risk of the tumor lysis
syndrome.
Cancer-cell
sensitivity to
anticancer therapy
Cancers that are inherently more sensitive to therapy have
a higher rate of cell lysis and a greater risk of the tumor
lysis syndrome than the other cancers.
Intensity of initial
anticancer therapy
Preexisting nephropathy from hypertension, diabetes, gout,
or other causes has a greater risk for acute kidney injury
and the tumor lysis syndrome.
2. Cell lysis potential:-
12. Risk Factors for the Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
Risk Factor Comment
Nephropathy before
diagnosis of cancer
Urine flow predispose to nephropathy from other causes,
such as the tumor lysis syndrome.
Dehydration or
volume depletion
Dehydration decreases the rate of urine flow through renal
tubules and increases the level of solutes
Acidic urine Uric acid has a lower solubility in acidic urine and therefore
crystallizes more rapidly
Hypotension Hypotension decreases urine flow and increases the level of
solutes that can crystallize. Hypotension can also
independently cause acute kidney injury.
Exposure to
nephrotoxins
Vancomycin, aminoglycosides, contrast agents for diagnostic
imaging, and other potential nephrotoxins increase the risk
of acute kidney injury from lysis of cancer cells.
3. Features on patient presentation:-
13. Risk Factors for the Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
Risk Factor Comment
Inadequate
hydration
Increases the risk of crystallization inside tubules
Exogenous
potassium
Unless the patient has severe hypokalemia or a
dysrhythmia from hypokalemia, potassium should not
be included in the intravenous fluids, and potassium
(from food or medications) should be minimized until
the risk period for the tumor lysis syndrome has
passed.
4. Supportive care:-
14. Risk Factors for the Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
Risk Factor Comment
Exogenous phosphate Restricting dietary phosphate and adding a phosphate
binder reduce the exogenous load of phosphate so that the
kidneys need only excrete the endogenous load of
phosphate released by cancer-cell lysis.
Delayed uric acid
removal
Allopurinol prevents formation of new uric acid by inhibiting
xanthine oxidase and preventing conversion of xanthine to
uric acid. It does not remove existing uric acid and does
increase urinary excretion of xanthine, which can crystallize
and cause nephropathy. Rasburicase is an enzyme that
rapidly removes uric acid by converting it to allantoin,
which is highly soluble and readily excreted in the urine.
The longer the uric acid level remains high, the greater the
risk of crystal formation and acute kidney injury.
4. Supportive care:-
15. PREVENTION OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
• Hydration
– hyperhydration by means of intravenous fluids
(2500 to 3000 ml per square meter per day in
the patients at highest risk).
• Diuretic
– After achieving an optimal state of hydration,
we recommend the use of a loop diuretic
agent (e.g., furosemide) to promote diuresis,
with a target urine output of at least 2 ml per
kilogram per hour.
16. PREVENTION OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
• Reducing the level of uric acid, with the use of
allopurinol and particularly with the use of rasburicase,
can preserve or improve renal function and reduce
serum phosphorus levels as a secondary beneficial
effect.
• Urinary alkalinization increases uric acid solubility but
decreases calcium phosphate solubility
• Patients should limit potassium and phosphorus intake
during the risk period for the tumor lysis syndrome
• Hemodialysis and hemofiltration effectively remove
potassium. Glucose plus insulin or beta-agonists can be
used as temporizing measures, and calcium gluconate
may be used to reduce the risk of dysrhythmia while
awaiting hemodialysis.
17. PREVENTION OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
• Symptomatic hypocalcemia should be treated with
calcium at the lowest dose required
– since the administration of excessive calcium increases the
calcium–phosphate product and the rate of calcium phosphate
crystallization, particularly if the product is greater than 60 mg2
per square deciliter
• Use of continuous renal replacement therapies
– continuous venovenous hemofiltration,
– continuous venovenous hemodialysis, or
– continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration.
• These methods of dialysis use filters with a larger pore
size, which allows more rapid clearance of molecules
that are not efficiently removed by conventional
hemodialysis .
18. PREVENTION OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
• Patients at high risk for the tumor lysis syndrome may
also receive low-intensity initial therapy.
– Slower lysis of the cancer cells allows renal homeostatic
mechanisms to clear metabolites before they accumulate and
cause organ damage.
– This strategy, in cases of advanced B-cell non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma or Burkitt’s leukemia, has involved treatment with
low-dose cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and
– prednisone for a week before the start of intensive
chemotherapy. Similarly, many groups subscribe to a week of
prednisone monotherapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic
leukemia.
