Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency due to massive tumor cell lysis with the release of large amounts of potassium, phosphate, and nucleic acids into the systemic circulation. Clinical presentation is characterized by hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia, and hypocalcemia. Acute kidney injury due to tumor lysis is potentiated by the precipitation of uric acid and calcium phosphate as well as renal vasoconstriction. Early recognition of tumor lysis can help prevent cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and death. Management includes intravenous hydration to maintain urine flow, medications targeting hyperuricemia including rasburicase and allopurinol and in severe cases renal replacement therapy may be required.

Abstract
Background: Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency due to a rapid break down of malignant cells usually induced by cytotoxic therapy, with hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and serious clinical consequences such as acute renal injury, cardiac arrhythmia, hypotension, and death. Rapidly expanding knowledge of cancer immune evasion mechanisms and host-tumor interactions has significantly changed our therapeutic strategies in hemato-oncology what resulted in the expanding spectrum of neoplasms with a risk of TLS. Summary: Since clinical TLS is a life-threatening condition, identifying patients with risk factors for TLS development and implementation of adequate preventive measures remains the most critical component of its medical management. In general, these consist of vigilant laboratory and clinical monitoring, vigorous IV hydration, urate-lowering therapy, avoidance of exogenous potassium, use of phosphate binders, and – in high-risk cases – considering cytoreduction before the start of the aggressive agent or a gradual escalation of its dose. Key Messages: In patients with a high risk of TLS, cytotoxic chemotherapy should be given in the facility with ready access to dialysis and a treatment plan discussed with the nephrology team. In the case of hyperkalemia, severe hyperphosphatemia or acidosis, and fluid overload unresponsive to diuretic therapy, the early renal replacement therapy (RRT) should be considered. One must remember that in TLS, the threshold for RRT initiation may be lower than in other clinical situations since the process of cell breakdown is ongoing, and rapid increases in serum electrolytes cannot be predicted.

Abstract
Intravascular lymphoma is a rare disease that progresses to multiple organ dysfunction caused primarily by tumor cell proliferation in small blood vessels. Few studies have investigated critical care management of intravascular lymphoma. We describe a rare case of multiple organ failure due to intravascular lymphoma with severe lactic acidosis in a patient who survived. A 64-year-old man with impaired consciousness was diagnosed as having intravascular large B-cell lymphoma by means of a random skin biopsy. The patient arrived at our hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) with impaired consciousness, respiratory failure that required mechanical ventilation, and lactic acidosis that required renal replacement therapy. Mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy were continued in the ICU, and his respiratory status and circulatory dynamics eventually stabilized. However, his impaired consciousness and hyperlactatemia did not improve until after the start of chemotherapy with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone, and rituximab. Although he developed tumor lysis syndrome immediately after chemotherapy, his systemic condition was gradually stabilized by continued critical care management primarily comprising renal replacement therapy. He was weaned from ventilator support after a tracheotomy and moved to the general ward. Hematopoietic malignancy with hyperlactatemia has a very poor prognosis; however, hyperlactatemia and impaired consciousness were dramatically improved in this patient by critical care management and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare, aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting approximately 1500 patients per year. Three forms of BL exist (sporadic, endemic, immunodeficiency associated) and the endemic form was first discovered as being driven by the Epstein Barr virus in areas of the world where malaria is prevalent. BL has the characteristic t8; 14 cytogenetic translocation that leads to constitutive activation of the MYC gene, which drives BL cell division. Therapy of BL has resulted in cure for many patients but significant toxicity and treatment related complications remains problematic in the approach to BL therapy. Treatment options for relapsed and refractory disease remain limited however novel treatments are being studied to block MYC activation, and cold lead to promising options for patients with relapsed and refractory disease.

Abstract
Objective Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is well suited for treating
metabolic abnormalities and renal insufficiency associated with tumour lysis
syndrome (TLS). However, there is controversy regarding the choice of time
for CRRT, the selection of CRRT models, and methods of decreasing
complications of CRRT. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and
outcomes of daytime continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) for
treating paediatric TLS. Methods The clinical features, technique-related complications, and prognosis were
prospectively analysed in eight paediatric patients with TLS who were
supported by daytime CVVH in West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan
University from January 2007 to July 2016. Results Seven patients were boys and one was a girl. All of the patients had
hyperphosphataemia, and there were four cases of hyperkalaemia, four cases
of hyperuricaemia, and two cases of hypocalcaemia. All of the patients
received one to 10 CVVH treatments. Urine output, renal function, serum uric
acid levels, and potassium, phosphate, and calcium levels returned to normal
in all of the patients, but recovery of renal function was relatively slow.
No significant adverse reactions were observed. All of the patients
recovered and were discharged. Conclusion Daytime CVVH is a safe and effective treatment for paediatric TLS.

Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is the most common oncologic emergency. It is caused by rapid tumor cell destruction and the resulting nucleic acid degradation during or days after initiation of cytotoxic therapy. Also, a spontaneous form exists. The metabolic abnormalities associated with this syndrome include hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hyperuricemia, and acute kidney injury. These abnormalities can lead to life-threatening complications, such as heart rhythm abnormalities and neurologic manifestations. The emergency management of overt TLS involves proper fluid resuscitation with crystalloids in order to improve the intravascular volume and the urinary output and to increase the renal excretion of potassium, phosphorus, and uric acid. With this therapeutic strategy, prevention of calcium phosphate and uric acid crystal deposition within renal tubules is achieved. Other measures in the management of overt TLS are prescription of hypouricemic agents, renal replacement therapy, and correction of electrolyte imbalances. Hyperkalemia should be treated quickly and aggressively as its presence is the most hazardous acute complication that can cause sudden death from cardiac arrhythmias. Treatment of hypocalcemia is reserved for patients with electrocardiographic changes or symptoms of neuromuscular irritability. In patients who are refractory to medical management of electrolyte abnormalities or with severe cardiac and neurologic manifestations, early dialysis is recommended.

Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome is a serious and dangerous complication usually associated with antiblastic treatment in some malignancies characterized by high cell turn-over. Mild or severe electrolyte abnormalities including high serum levels of uric acid, potassium, phosphorus, creatinine, bun and reduction of calcium can be responsible for multi-organ failure, involving mostly kidneys, heart and central nervous system. Renal damage can be followed by acute renal failure, weight gain, progressive liver impairment, overproduction of cytokines, and subsequent maintenance of multi-organ damage. Life-threatening acute respiratory failure associated with tumor lysis syndrome is rare. We describe a child with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who developed an unusually dramatic tumor lysis syndrome, after administration of the first low doses of steroid, that was rapidly associated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Subsequent clinical course and treatment modalities that resulted in the gradual and full recovery of the child are also described.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are recombinant receptors that combine the specificity of an antigen-specific antibody with the T-cell’s activating functions. Initial clinical trials of genetically engineered CAR T cells have significantly raised the profile of T cell therapy, and great efforts have been made to improve this approach. In this review, we provide a structural overview of the development of CAR technology and highlight areas that require further refinement. We also discuss critical issues related to CAR therapy, including the optimization of CAR T cells, the route of administration, CAR toxicity and the blocking of inhibitory molecules.

Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency triggered by the rapid release of intracellular material from lysing malignant cells. Most common in rapidly growing hematologic malignancies, TLS has been reported in virtually every cancer type. Central to its pathogenesis is the rapid accumulation of uric acid derived from the breakdown of nucleic acids, which leads to kidney failure by various mechanisms. Kidney failure then limits the clearance of potassium, phosphorus, and uric acid leading to hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and secondary hypocalcemia, which can be fatal. Prevention of TLS may be more effective than treatment, and identification of at-risk individuals in whom to target preventative efforts remains a key research area. Herein, we discuss the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and treatment of TLS with an emphasis on the kidney manifestations of the disease.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (EBV+ DLBCL) of the elderly is an aggressive B-cell neoplasm related to age-associated impaired immunity. We report such a case in a 59-year-old woman with a catastrophic disease course. The patient initially presented with fever, fatigue, malaise and weakness over one-week period. Despite empirical treatment with antibiotics and antiviral agents, she subsequently developed multi-organ failure and coagulopathy. Radiographic imaging revealed hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, pleural effusion, and ascites. Her complete blood cell count showed marked leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia. Morphologic examination of blood smear demonstrated many abnormal plasmacytoid lymphocytes, and flow cytometric analysis detected an intermediate-large mature B-cell population (69%) without detectable surface immunoglobulin. High copy numbers of EBV genome were detected in the blood by PCR. A diagnosis of EBV+ DLBCL, leukemic phase, was made. Despite aggressive treatment and supportive care, the patient succumbed to multi-organ failure one week after initial presentation. Autopsy demonstrated EBV+ DLBCL infiltration in all the organs examined. This case describes an unusual presentation of EBV+ DLBCL and highlights the necessity of pertinent ancillary tests to avoid delay in the diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Continuous renal replacement therapy is the most often implemented dialysis modality in the pediatric intensive care unit setting for patients with acute kidney injury. However, it also has a role in the management of patients with nonrenal indications such as clearance of drugs and intermediates of disordered cellular metabolism. MEASUREMENTS AND METHODS Using data from the multicenter Prospective Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Registry, we report a cohort of pediatric patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy for nonrenal indications. Nonrenal indications were obtained from the combination of "other" category for continuous renal replacement therapy initiation and patient diagnosis (both primary and secondary). This cohort was further divided into three subgroups: inborn errors of metabolism, drug toxicity, and tumor lysis syndrome. RESULTS From 2000 to 2005, a total of 50 continuous renal replacement therapy events with nonrenal indications for therapy were included in the Prospective Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Registry. Indication-specific survival of the subgroups was 62% (inborn errors of metabolism), 82% (tumor lysis syndrome), and 95% (drug toxicity). The median small solute dose delivered among the subgroups ranged from 2125 to 8213 mL/1.73 m/hr, with 54%-59% receiving solely diffusion-based clearance as continuous venovenous hemodialysis. No association was established between survival and dose delivered, modality of continuous renal replacement therapy, or use of intermittent hemodialysis prior to continuous renal replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy for nonrenal indications are a distinct cohort within the population receiving renal replacement therapy with little published experience of outcomes for this group. Survival within this cohort varies by indication for continuous renal replacement therapy and is not associated with continuous renal replacement therapy modality. Additionally, survival is not associated with small solute doses delivered within a cohort receiving >2000 mL/1.73 m/hr. Our data suggest metabolic control is established rapidly in pediatric patients and that acute detoxification may be provided with continuous renal replacement therapy for both the initial and maintenance phases of treatment using either convection or diffusion at appropriate doses.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia remain devastating diseases. Only approximately 40% of younger and 10% of older adults are long-term survivors. Although curing the leukemia is always the most formidable challenge, complications from the disease itself and its treatment are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Such complications, discussed herein, include tumor lysis, hyperleukocytosis, cytarabine-induced cellebellar toxicity, acute promyelocytic leukemia differentiation syndrome, thrombohemorrhagic syndrome in acute promyelocytic leukemia, L-asparaginase-associated thrombosis, leukemic meningitis, neutropenic fever, neutropenic enterocolitis, and transfussion-associated GVHD. Whereas clinical trials form the backbone for the management of acute leukemia, emergent clinical situations, predictable or not, are common and do not readily lend themselves to clinical trial evaluation. Furthermore, practice guidelines are often lacking. Not only are prospective trials impractical because of the emergent nature of the issue at hand, but clinicians are often reluctant to randomize such patients. Extensive practical experience is crucial and, even if there is no consensus, management of such emergencies should be guided by an understanding of the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Abstract
The tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a life-threatening complication caused by the massive release of nucleic acids, potassium and phosphate into the blood. This complication is the result of tumor cell lysis, which may occur due to treatment of drug sensitive and is characterized by rapid capacity of proliferation, that is often hematological origin. Moreover, the TLS can be observed before starting the treatment due to spontaneous tumor cell death, and frequently worsens when chemotherapy is initiated. TLS has high mortality, so that its prevention continues to be the most important therapeutic measure. In the intensive care unit (ICU), physicians should be aware of the clinical characteristics of TLS, which results in severe electrolyte metabolism disorders, especially hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia, and acute kidney injury which is a major cause of ICU mortality. An adequate strategy for the management of the TLS, combining hydration, urate oxidase, and an early admission to ICU can control this complication in most patients. The aim of this review is to provide diagnostic tools that allow to the ICU physician to recognize the population at high risk for developing the TLS, and outline a proper strategy for treating and preventing this serious complication.

Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) describes a constellation of biochemical and clinical abnormalities resulting from rapid and massive tumor cell death. TLS is frequently associated with hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and secondary hypocalcemia that may lead to serious clinical complications, including acute kidney injury and cardiac arrest. Identification of tumor- and patient-specific risk factors for TLS and early recognition of laboratory and clinical TLS based on established criteria are essential for preventing TLS and forestalling acute kidney injury. Early collaboration between oncologists and nephrologists will help improve assessment of patients' kidney function and risk factors, paving the way for timely and efficacious interventions.

Abstract
Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) is a life-threatening oncological emergency characterized by metabolic abnormalities including hyperuricaemia, hyperphosphataemia, hyperkalaemia and hypocalcaemia. These metabolic complications predispose the cancer patient to clinical toxicities including renal insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, neurological complications and potentially sudden death. With the increased availability of newer therapeutic targeted agents, such as rasburicase (recombinant urate oxidase), there are no published guidelines on the risk classification of TLS for individual patients at risk of developing this syndrome. We convened an international TLS expert consensus panel to develop guidelines for a medical decision tree to assign low, intermediate and high risk to patients with cancer at risk for TLS. Risk factors included biological evidence of laboratory TLS (LTLS), proliferation, bulk and stage of malignant tumour and renal impairment and/or involvement at the time of TLS diagnosis. An international TLS consensus expert panel of paediatric and adult oncologists, experts in TLS pathophysiology and experts in TLS prophylaxis and management, developed a final model of low, intermediate and high risk TLS classification and associated TLS prophylaxis recommendations.
