Abstract

 Medical advances have allowed that in the emergency services are met more frequently patients over 65 years and patients with chronic and devastating diseases such as cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. Epidemiology studies have shown that currently, cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. The increased prevalence of cancer is explained by three main factors: changes in diagnostic tests, advances in therapies for cancer and advances in diagnosis and treatment of co morbid conditions of patients.
