The cancer patient represents a complex diagnostic challenge in urgency, increasingly reflected in the daily reality of our emergency services, since the oncological facilities often do not have emergency services dedicated to this type of patients. The purpose of the review is to define which diagnostic tests are most appropriate in the presence of pathological conditions of thoracic urgency, which can take over at the same time or as a result of the oncological disease, its specific therapies (immunological, etc.), or in the course of the follow-up of the disease itself. The review takes into account the broader scope of thoracic pathologies, distinguishing those loaded with pulmonary parenchyma, pleura, mediastinum, chest wall and chest vascular structures.
