Survival rates for child cancer have significantly improved in the last decades. However, emergencies in connection with the disease itself or complications arising from the treatment imply a high morbimortality. The health staff at an emergency service needs to identify and treat as early as posible these clinical situations that result in the patient’s risk of life.
