Acute oncology emergencies are urgent medical problems associated with cancer or its treatment. They may arise from the cancer itself, systemic anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy. They can also involve an undiagnosed cancer requiring urgent specialist assessment.
Cases involving an oncology emergency can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to recognition, assessment, diagnosis, investigations, clinical management, causation and subsequent outcomes.
