Abstract
Hyponatremia is frequent in cancer patients and potentially deleterious. Cancer patients have specific requirements due to the nature and treatment of their disease, which can directly impact the occurrence and severity of hyponatremia, and limit treatment choices. Although essential for successful hyponatremia management, appropriate diagnostic testing is not routinely performed in the current practice. Despite clear evidence that hyponatremia is associated with poor outcome in oncology patients, most patients are still hyponatremic while under observation. Guidance on specific treatment of cancer patients with hyponatremia is needed to optimize patient care in the face of these challenges.
期刊介绍：
A series of integrated overviews on cutting-edge topics
New sophisticated technologies and methodological approaches in diagnostics and therapeutics have led to significant improvements in identifying and characterizing an increasing number of medical conditions, which is particularly true for all aspects of endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions. Novel insights in endocrine physiology and pathophysiology allow for new perspectives in clinical management and thus lead to the development of molecular, personalized treatments. In view of this, the active interplay between basic scientists and clinicians has become fundamental, both to provide patients with the most appropriate care and to advance future research.
