Potassium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that helps cells function normally. It is measured in blood tests and is commonly managed in hospitals and cancer clinics. Potassium can be taken in food, given as an oral supplement, or delivered by intravenous (IV) infusion. In oncology care, it is often monitored and corrected as part of supportive care during treatment.
