Resumen El sindrome de vena cava superior (SVCS) se produce por la obstruccion total o parcial del flujo sanguineo a nivel de la vena cava superior. La causa mas frecuente son las neoplasias, sobre todo de pulmon y, en los ultimos anos, por trombosis de los cateteres centrales utilizados para la administracion de la quimioterapia. El diagnostico del SVCS es fundamentalmente clinico. La triada clasica consiste en edema en esclavina, cianosis y circulacion colateral toracobraquial. Clasicamente se ha considerado el SVCS como una urgencia oncologica, pero actualmente se trata de una situacion subaguda que requiere un rapido diagnostico para planificar el tratamiento mas efectivo en cada caso.

Resumen El dolor y el cancer estan intimamente relacionados. El dolor afecta al 25% de los pacientes oncologicos en el momento del diagnostico, y al 80% con enfermedad avanzada. Es uno de los sintomas mas temidos, tanto por el paciente como por la familia, y altera de forma importante la calidad de vida del paciente. Las causas del dolor son multiples y heterogeneas, puede deberse al propio tumor, al tratamiento o a la patologia coexistente del propio paciente. El dolor tiene implicaciones fisicas, psicologicas y sociales. Por tanto, es un sintoma complejo de tratar, y es prioritario su control, de forma cuidadosa y adecuada, para conseguir la mejor calidad de vida del paciente. En la actualidad, disponemos de un arsenal terapeutico con el que se consigue un buen control del dolor. La seleccion del analgesico se va a basar en la intensidad del dolor y el tratamiento que recibe el paciente.

Hemoptysis is the expulsion of blood from the respiratory tract. Standing out among the most frequent causes are primary or metastatic tumors that affect the lung, coagulation alterations, infections and chronic disease. Mild or moderate hemoptysis is considered as expulsion of less than 100 ml per day of blood. If it exceeds this amount, it is considered massive or severe hemoptysis. The latter is considered an emergency, since it may cause the death of the patient in a few minutes. Therefore, it is important to identify the patients at risk of suffering massive hemoptysis to be able to act quickly. Treatment will depend on the severity of the hemoptysis. In many cases, sedation is the only measure to decrease the symptoms.

PUNTOS CLAVEnnEpidemiologia. El cancer de origen desconocido (COD) representa entre un 3 y un 5% de todas las neoplasias. Es algo mas frecuente en varones con una mediana de edad de 60 anos. No se han encontrado factores de riesgo claramente asociados.nnPatologia. Incluye un grupo heterogeneo de tumores. La histologia mas frecuente es la de adenocarcinoma.nnClinica. Inicialmente los sintomas suelen ser los derivados de las metastasis a distancia. En el 75% de los casos, el sintoma mas frecuente es el dolor.nnDiagnostico. Los puntos clave en el diagnostico son la anatomia patologica y la forma clinica de presentacion determinada por la historia clinica, la exploracion fisica y las pruebas de imagen.nnTratamiento. Hay que valorar las caracteristicas clinicas y patologicas, asi como el estado general del enfermo. Es importante identificar aquellos subgrupos potencialmente tratables para obtener largas supervivencias.

Dyspnea can be defined as the subjective perception of respiratory distress. Etiology in patients with thoracic cancers varies greatly, but sudden obstruction of the airway, pleural effusion, pulmonary thromboembolism and bronchospasm stand out. The therapeutic approach in addition to focusing on the cause should be aimed at relieving the symptoms. Standing out among the pharmacological measures are opioids, benzodiazepines and corticosteroids.

Background. Cancer affects many dimensions determining nquality of life, including work. However, the importance nof work to cancer survivors has received little nattention. nAim. Employment and work-related disability were ninvestigated in a cohort of non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma npatients to describe a possible discrimination and other nwork issues. nPatients and Methods. The study included consecutively n37 non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma patients who were nemployed at diagnosis. The questionnaire included cancerrelated nsymptoms and work-related factors. Clinical details nwere obtained from the medical record. Patients were ninterviewed face to face and 32 variables were recorded. nThe study was approved by the Ethical Committee of Hospital nLa Paz. All patients gave consent to participate. nResults. Eighty six per cent of patients were unable to nwork after diagnosis, but 68% returned to work at the end nof treatment. The type of worker and the sequelae of the ndisease or its treatment were independently associated with nthe ability to work after the end of treatment. Almost all npatients told their employers and co-workers about their ndisease. None reported job discrimination. nConclusions. This is the first exploratory study in nSpain about labour reintegration in non-Hodgkin´s lymphomas. nFurther studies are necessary
