AnaLYSIS of the Nurse’s Role in Assessment and Treatment of Tumour Lysis Syndrome (TLS)
Presented by:Adrianna DeCastro BScN, RN - Stronach Regional Health Centre
Disclosures
• I have received an honorarium for this presentation• Medical Oncology Outpatient Clinic• Some slide credits to clinicaloptions.com
Objectives
• Define Tumour Lysis Syndrome (TLS)• Who is at Risk?• Signs and Symptoms of TLS• Nursing Management
What is TLS?
• Oncologic emergency• Rapid breakdown of cancer cells results in intracellular release
Ø Uric Acid Ø Phosphorus Ø Potassium
What is TLS?
• Rapid breakdown = buildup in the blood stream• Causes metabolic abnormalities • TLS has two phases • The oncology RN plays a pivotal role in recognizing TLS and promptly
intervenes • Early intervention = better patient outcomes!
Categories of TLS
Laboratory TLS
Clinical TLS
Lysis of tumour cells

Risk Factors for TLSBulky Tumours• Large tumour mass• Organ infiltration• Bone marrow involvement
(leukemia's are bulky)
Highly Proliferative Tumours• LDH is a marker• Chemosensitive tumours• Burkitt lymphoma• Lymphoblastic lymphoma• Acute leukemia

Management of TLS
• Allopurinol • One to two days prior to starting therapy and up to seven days post-
chemo • Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!• Two to three litres of water per day• Cardiac monitoring and dialysis for patients severe clinical TLS
TLS ManagementMinimal Risk Low Risk Intermediate Risk High Risk Clinical TLS
No prophylaxis indicated
Prophylaxis:hydration ±allopurinol
Daily lab tests
Prophylaxis:hydration + allopurinol; consider rasburicase
Lab tests every 8-12 hrs
Prophylaxis:hydration +rasburicase
Lab tests every 6-8 hrs
Cardiac monitoring
Prophylaxis:hydration +rasburicase
Lab tests every 4-6 hrs
Cardiac monitoring in ICU
