Hypertension in the oncology setting.
In the oncology setting, HTN is a common comorbidity and complication of some treatments. A thorough assessment of each patient, including medical history and current medication list, is used to screen for HTN. The Joint National Committee guidelines (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2003) have provided a resource for proper selection of medications for management of HTN, with considerations for special populations.
