Hi there, The situation seems serious. For any cancer therapy to be done like
radiation or
chemotherapy, the general condition of the patient must be good enough to allow it to be administered and be able to be tolerated. If a person is on ventilator then practically giving chemo or any other cancer directed therapy is nearly out of question. Hence we need to wait and hope he recovers from infection and is weaned off ventilator and then undergo investigations and therapy for cancer. In case he deteriorated then very little can be offered from treating for cancer point of view. Take care Regards
