    AbstractIntensive care has been important in the treatment of cancer patients during the last decade. The main indications for admission to the intensive care unit are postoperative recovery, critical complications of cancer and its treatment, intensive anticancer treatment administration monitoring, and acute disease unrelated to the neoplastic disease or its treatment. Management of such cases must take into account the patient's fragility resulting from the presence of a severe chronic underlying disease with systemic effects. In the future, intensive care may play an important role in the development of oncology not only as supportive care for patients but also in the active development of new anticancer therapies.
