Cancer and cancer therapies have the potential to affect the nervous system in a host of different ways. Cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, cerebrovascular events, status epilepticus, and epidural spinal cord compression are among those most often presenting as emergencies. Neurologic side-effects of cancer therapies are often mild, but occasionally result in serious illness. Immunotherapies cause autoimmune-related neurologic side-effects that are generally responsive to immunosuppressive therapies. Emergency management of neuro-oncologic problems benefits from early identification and close collaboration among interdisciplinary team members and patients or surrogate decision-makers.
癌症及其治疗方法可能以多种不同方式影响神经系统。脑水肿、颅内压增高、脑血管事件、癫痫持续状态和硬脊膜外脊髓压迫症是最常表现为急症的几种情况。癌症治疗的神经副作用通常较轻,但偶尔会导致严重疾病。免疫疗法会引起与自身免疫相关的神经副作用,这些副作用通常对免疫抑制疗法有反应。神经肿瘤急症的处理得益于多学科团队成员、患者或替代决策人之间的早期识别和密切协作。
