Popis: Glucocorticosteroids are highly effective anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. The drugs were introduced into therapeutic practice from the mid-20th century and are still widely used in the treatment of various diseases. They are an integral part of the treatment of patients with hematological malignancies. One of the clinically significant complications of glucocorticosteroid therapy is steroid-induced carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Diabetes mellitus is one of the main risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases, which are the main non-oncological cause of death in the population and a significant treatment complication in patients with malignant neoplasms. Early detection of the disease and improved treatment efficiency increase the survival rate of patients with various types of neoplasms. It is also important to pay attention to quality of life improving in cancer patients after treatment.The aim of this review is to analyze the pathogenesis features, as well as predictors of early detection and prevention of possible complications of persistent hyperglycemia in patients with hematological malignancies.
