Pelé, hospitalized since November 29
Edson Arantes do Nascimento, “O Rei”, has been hospitalized since November 29 at the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital to receive treatment for a respiratory infection and for a re-evaluation of the chemotherapy treatment that is being followed for a color tumor.
The hospital reported that Pelé "presents progression of the oncological disease and requires greater care related to renal and cardiac dysfunctions."
"The patient is still hospitalized in a common room, under the necessary care of the medical team," said the professionals at the medical center this week.
Pelé's colon cancer treatments
On September 6, 2021, Pelé announced on his social media that he had undergone surgery to remove a tumor from his colon two days earlier.
On September 30, he was discharged from the Sao Paulo hospital where he had been operated on.
Doctors identified the cancer after discovering abnormalities in her colon during a routine exam, Reuters reported at the time.
At that time, it was announced that the former player would have to receive chemotherapy.
