Hematology in palliative medicine

Mellar P. Davis, MD, FCCP

The Harry R. Horvitz Center for Palliative Medicine, Cleveland Taussig Cancer Center, Cleveland, Ohio

Advanced cancer and life-limiting chronic nonmalignant diseases are associated with a number of hematological problems. Anemia and coagulation disorders, principally venous thrombosis and thrombocytopenia, are most commonly observed. Patients undergoing chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant have unique problems that include neutropenias and chemotherapy-induced drug toxicities, which will not be covered in this article.

Key Words: palliative care • hematology • cancer • anemia • thrombocytopenia • deep vein thrombosis • pulmonary embolism
