Acute problems requiring emergency management may occur in association with malignancy. The most common are superior vena cava syndrome, compression of the spinal cord or cauda equina, hypercalcemia, tumor lysis syndrome, and fever in the neutropenic patient. Successful management requires that the physician be aware of the potential for such an emergency in a cancer patient and give priority to treatment, based on clinical evidence and a few essential studies, over definitive diagnosis.
需要紧急处理的急性问题可能与恶性肿瘤相关。最常见的有上腔静脉综合征、脊髓或马尾受压、高钙血症、肿瘤溶解综合征以及中性粒细胞减少患者的发热。成功的处理要求医生意识到癌症患者出现此类紧急情况的可能性，并根据临床证据和一些必要检查，在明确诊断之前优先进行治疗。
