Neoplastic Fever

Neoplastic fever is a condition marked by a fever of unknown origin in people with a history of cancer or cancer treatment. It occurs when a cancerous or pre-cancerous tumor releases substances called antigenic substances, which cause a fever due to the body's immune response. Neoplastic fevers can be accompanied by other symptoms such as chills, night sweats, and weight loss. Treatment includes antibiotics and medications to reduce the fever and other symptoms. In some cases, further medical interventions, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, may be necessary to remove the tumor and ease symptoms. Neoplastic fever is a serious condition, as it is an indicator of cancerous tumors that need to be monitored and treated.
