Abstract
Although patients with solid tumors do not suffer similar rates of infections as patients with hematologic malignancies, several predisposing factors may influence their outcome. These factors include tumor growth, malnutrition, alteration of anatomic barriers, and side effects of various therapeutic modalities. Specific nursing interventions for the prevention of infections are described.Entities:
