AB  - Hematological  and  oncological  emergencies  are  sometimes  overlooked  in  EMS  planning  and  off-line  medical  direction  and  may  seem  less  frequent  than  some  trauma  and  medical  conditions.  However,  these  conditions  are  no  less  fatal  and  often  seemingly  complex  when  training  and  education  in  these  areas  are  neglected.  In  some  cases,  the  EMS  physician  stands  to  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  outcome  of  the  patient  with  these  conditions,  and  in  other  cases,  may  positively  impact  an  important  phase  in  the  dying  process  for  terminal  patients.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  review  likely  hematological  and  oncological  emergencies  that  may  be  encountered  in  the  field  where  there  is  opportunity  for  the  EMS  physician  to  provide  treatment  in  the  field  and  improved  medical  direction  to  system  providers  on  the  proper  management  of  these  sometimes-complicated  patient  encounters.
