Frequent fever in tumor patients is usually caused by excessive growth of tumor, production of pyrogen by tumor cells themselves, or by treatment.
1. If the malignant tumor grows too fast and the tissue is relatively hypoxic, ischemic and necrotic, then it will cause fever of the body.
2. Malignant tumor cells can produce endogenous pyrogen, in addition, the active substances secreted by tumor cells, such as catecholamines, methemoglobin, 5-hydroxytryptophan, etc., will produce different responses to the organism.
3. In the process of tumor treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, application of interferon, interleukin, colony stimulating factor and other agents can also cause fever.
4. Treatment will cause massive destruction of tumor cells and release tumor necrosis factor, which will lead to fever of the body.
Tumor patients with frequent fever need to actively consult the doctor to clarify the cause of the disease and then carry out targeted treatment.
