Imaging of Oncologic Emergencies

Francesca Iacobellis et al. Semin Ultrasound CT MR. 2018 Apr.

Abstract

Oncologic emergencies can be either the result of the primary tumor, its metastasis, a paraneoplastic syndrome or reaction to the chemotherapy. Imaging plays a crucial role in ensuring a prompt diagnosis as well as assisting in the therapeutic management. In this article, we discuss the common thoracic and abdominal oncological emergencies that may be encountered in an emergency department.
