Abstract

Patients with oncologic disease require frequent imaging tests (predominantly computed tomography) for follow-up. These patients may have thoracic vascular disease that can influence the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of their cancer. Primary vascular tumors can involve the thoracic vessels, like the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary artery sarcoma), and the neoplastic disease can extend locally (lung tumor) or remotely to the thoracic vessels (pulmonary tumor embolism and pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy). Oncologic treatment results in multiple complications that involve the thoracic vessels and can even compromise the patient's life in certain cases. CT, and especially multislice CT, makes it possible to evaluate neoplastic disease and associated thoracic vascular disease in oncologic patients.

Resumen

La patología oncológica requiere frecuentes controles mediante pruebas de imagen, de forma predominante con tomografía computarizada (TC). En estos pacientes podemos encontrar patología vascular torácica que puede influir en el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y el pronóstico de su enfermedad neoplásica. Los tumores primarios vasculares pueden afectar a los vasos torácicos, como las arterias pulmonares (sarcoma de arteria pulmonar), y la enfermedad neoplásica se puede extender localmente (neoplasia pulmonar) o a distancia hacia los vasos torácicos (embolia pulmonar tumoral y microangiopatía trombótica tumoral pulmonar). El tratamiento oncológico es la causa de múltiples complicaciones sobre los vasos torácicos que en determinados casos llegan a comprometer la vida del paciente. La TC, especialmente con técnica multicorte, permite la evaluación de la enfermedad neoplásica y la patología vascular torácica asociada en el paciente oncológico.
