Abstract:
Mechanical obstructions are potentially life-threatening complications that frequently arise in oncologic and hematologic settings. These obstructions may occur due to tumors, lymphadenopathy, or treatment-induced adhesions, and they require immediate recognition and tailored management. This article discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management strategies for mechanical obstructions, emphasizing evidence-based care and highlighting future developments in this field.
