Emergencies In Pediatric Oncology Research Articles

Pediatric oncologic emergencies: Clinical and imaging review for pediatricians.

Children with cancer are at increased risk of life-threatening emergencies, either from the cancer itself or related to the cancer treatment. These conditions need to be assessed and treated as early as possible to minimize morbidity and mortality. Cardiothoracic emergencies encompass a variety of pathologies, including pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, massive hemoptysis, superior vena cava syndrome, pulmonary embolism, and pneumonia. Abdominal emergencies include bowel obstruction, intussusception, perforation, tumor rupture, intestinal graft-versus-host disease, acute pancreatitis, neutropenic colitis, and obstructive uropathy. Radiology plays a vital role in the diagnosis of these emergencies. We here review the clinical features and imaging in pediatric patients with oncologic emergencies, including a review of recently published studies. Key radiological images are presented to highlight the radiological approach to diagnosis. Pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and pediatric radiologists need to work together to arrive at the correct diagnosis and to ensure prompt and appropriate treatment strategies.

Pediatric oncologic emergencies are potentially life-threatening acute complications related to primary malignant disease or its treatment. They can be divided in subgroups as metabolic emergencies, neurologic emergencies, thoracal emergencies, gastrointestinal emergencies, urogenital emergencies and febrile neutropenia. Pediatric oncologic emergencies can present with different signs and symptoms. Although basic principles in management of pediatric oncologic emergencies are similar, some discrepancies can be seen in clinical applications in different institutions.
