• Resumen

  • Oncological emergencies are common in patients with advanced cancer and may confer significant physical and psychological burden. Swift recognition of such events will allow rapid contextualized evaluation and management, which may need to be tailored according the individual patients circumstances. Wherever possible, the anticipation of a potential emergency allows clinicians to preempt potential crises.
