Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pulmonology
  • Emergency Medicine

Context:

  • Respiratory emergencies are common in cancer patients.
  • These emergencies can stem from the tumor itself or related complications.
  • Pathologies may involve the airway, pulmonary parenchyma, or great vessels.

Purpose:

  • To outline the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for respiratory emergencies in cancer patients.
  • To highlight the importance of early recognition and specific treatments.

Summary:

  • Airway obstruction management includes endoscopic evaluation, stenting, brachytherapy, laser ablation, and photodynamic therapy.
  • Hemoptysis treatment depends on the cause and severity, with bronchoscopy as a primary tool, supplemented by radiotherapy or embolization.
