Tumour Lysis
Tumour Lysis
**Slide 2: Introduction**
- Briefly introduce yourself and the topic
- State the objectives of the presentation
**Slide 4: Pathophysiology**
- Overview of the pathophysiology of TLS
- Discussion of the release of intracellular contents (nucleic acids, potassium, phosphorus, and
uric acid) into circulation
- Explain the consequences of intracellular content release (metabolic abnormalities and organ
dysfunction)
**Slide 7: Diagnosis**
- Diagnostic criteria for TLS
- Laboratory tests used to confirm the diagnosis (e.g., serum electrolytes, uric acid levels, renal
function tests)
- Imaging studies that may be helpful in evaluating complications of TLS (e.g., renal ultrasound)
**Slide 8: Prevention**
- Strategies for preventing tumor lysis syndrome
- Hydration protocols and the importance of maintaining adequate urine output
- Prophylactic use of medications (e.g., allopurinol, rasburicase)
**Slide 9: Management**
- Treatment goals for tumor lysis syndrome
- Overview of supportive care measures (fluid management, electrolyte correction, and renal
protection)
- Pharmacological interventions (e.g., allopurinol, rasburicase, diuretics)
Remember to use clear and concise bullet points on your slides, and supplement them with
relevant images, graphs, or diagrams to enhance understanding. Good luck with your
presentation!
