TLS is a medical emergency that can occur in patients with certain types of cancer, particularly haematological malignancies such as leukaemia and lymphoma, who are undergoing chemotherapy. TLS can occur when cancer cells break down rapidly, releasing large amounts of intracellular contents such as uric acid, potassium, and phosphate into the bloodstream.
