Why the study?
Thoracic oncoemergencies are the most common cause of mortality, particularly in hematological malignancies, and require imaging to identify anatomical causes needing immediate intervention.
Imaging is vital for demonstrating anatomical or structural causes of thoracic oncoemergencies to guide immediate intervention.

Highlights clinicoradiological correlation for thoracic oncoemergencies; leaves open prospective validation of mortality impact.
Imaging plays a vital role in demonstrating the anatomical or structural causes of cancer-related complications that may warrant immediate intervention. The thoracic oncoemergencies (TOEs) are considered as the most common cause of mortality, specifically in patients with hematological malignancies. These can be broadly classified under pulmonary, extrapulmonary, vascular, and other causes. This article aims to illustrate imaging features of TOE and highlight the need for clinicoradiological correlation.
