title: Fluid and electrolyte problems in patients with advanced carcinoma.
abstract: Brief outlines of these problems serve to suggest some etiologic factors in their production. The patient seldom presents with a single or simple cause or solution. The body reacts with compensations or side effects, and suffers complications and mixed disorders -- all of which probabilities must be investigated and appreciated before rational therapy can be initiated.
