title: Hematologic abnormalities in patients with nonhematologic malignancies.
abstract: Hematologic abnormalities are not uncommon in patients with nonhematologic malignancies and may contribute significantly to morbidity and even to mortality. An appreciation for the spectrum of severity and etiology will allow the physician to anticipate and perhaps ameliorate some of these complications. This understanding will also provide sufficient information to decide when intervention is unnecessary.
