Summary

An increasing number of cancer patients are being admitted to the intensive care and high dependency units due to the rising incidence of solid and/or haematological malignancies together with an expanding range of therapeutic options and improved survival of these patients. The reasons for admission are the potentially life-threatening cancer-related complications and/or treatment-associated side-effects or eventual co-morbidities. Epidemiology, indication criteria, extension of treatment, prognosis of the acute disease and changes applied to the general prognosis as a consequence of the critical illness are some of the most common and frequently unanswered questions the intensivists need to examine, and they are discussed within this review.

Keywords:
