Cancer-related Emergency and Urgent Care: Prevention, Management, and Care Coordination

The goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers, clinicians, patients, and advocates representing a broad range of expertise and experiences to:

• Define the current state of the science in the identification, prevention, and management of oncologic emergencies;
• Discuss research gaps and opportunities in the areas of care delivery models, risk prediction and stratification, diagnostics, management, and care coordination for patients with cancer at risk of or utilizing urgent care and the emergency department (ED); and
• Establish new research collaborations at the intersection of oncology and emergency medicine to improve outcomes of patients with or at risk of cancer.

This workshop informed evidence gaps and research recommendations to improve outcomes in cancer survivors experiencing or at risk for urgent and emergency cancer-related complications.
