Overview
Oncologic emergencies and life-threatening cancer-related and treatment-related complications are the net effect of gradually increasing incidence of malignant diseases, improvement of therapeutic options and survival of oncologic patients. These complications are relatively specific for such population of patients and they are quite rare within the individuals without malignancy. Selected oncological emergencies are discussed in this review.
Keywords:
intensive care – malignancy – oncologic emergency
