侵袭性真菌感染（IFI）已成为癌症患者发病和死亡的主要原因。这些微生物感染通常难以诊断和治疗。适当和及时的诊断需要高度的怀疑和侵入性手术，包括活检，以确认诊断。治疗可能是困难的，继发于可变的敏感性和难以准确和特异性表征真菌病原体。看到的病原体范围从酵母到侵入性霉菌。幸运的是，新的无创诊断技术可以帮助诊断，治疗也变得更耐受性和更有效。
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) have become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Infections with these organisms are often difficult to diagnose and treat. Appropriate and timely diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and invasive procedures, including biopsy, to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment may be difficult, secondary to variable susceptibility and difficulty with exact and specific characterization of the fungal pathogen. The pathogens that are seen range from yeasts to invasive molds. Fortunately newer, noninvasive diagnostic techniques are available to aid in the diagnosis and treatments have become better tolerated and more efficacious.
