Infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients
with neoplastic disease because of compromised host defenses. These
defects result in an increased risk of infection and its
complications. The nature of the underlying malignancy, the
immunodeficiencies associated with it, and the treatments directed
against it are all important determinants of infection. In recent
years, the introduction of more intensive chemotherapeutic regimes
and the widespread use of bone marrow and peripheral stem cell
transplantation have changed the pattern of infection in many
patients. Furthermore, the increasing use of central venous access
devices and antimicrobial prophylaxis has changed the epidemiology
of infection in these patients as well. The goal of this volume in
the Cancer Treatment and Research series is to emphasize that while
the management of infection in cancer patients is common, it is
constantly changing. With the increasing complexity of these
patients, optimal management requires a multidisciplinary approach.
Ultimately, it is hoped that this book will assist clinicians in
the diagnosis, management, and prevention of infection in order to
optimize care for patients with cancer.
