Abstract：Objective:To explore the current development status and existing challenges in onco-critical care medi-cine,an emerging interdisciplinary field,and to provide theoretical support for improving diagnostic and treatment sys-tems and advancing disciplinary progress.Methods:This article aims to explore the current status and challenges in on-co-critical care medicine and propose evidence-based strategies to facilitate its rapid yet sustainable development.Re-sults:The study revealed that onco-critical care medicine,as an emerging interdisciplinary field,has emerged by in-tegrating cancer-specific characteristics within the framework of critical care medicine.However,its development faces significant challenges,including:The lack of established referral criteria for malignant tumor patients in critical care de-partments.Insufficient staffing and equipment resources in ICUs of specialized cancer hospitals,coupled with subopti-mal diagnostic and treatment capabilities.Numerous unknowns and challenges within the oncology-critical care inter-disciplinary domain,such as the management of severe adverse reactions caused by novel anticancer agents.Conclusion:By implementing these measures,it is anticipated that the discipline of onco-critical care medicine will achieve rapid advancement,ultimately improving clinical outcomes and survival rates for cancer patients:establish consensus on ICU referral criteria for malignant tumor patients to standardize clinical decision-making.Develop a multidisciplinary col-laboration platform centered on critical care medicine to foster deep integration between critical care and other special-ties.Strengthen quality control in onco-critical care medicine by creating unified quality benchmarks and promoting standardized medical practices across institutions.Advance informatization in onco-critical care to enhance clinical effi-ciency and accelerate research translation capabilities.
