Infectious Complications[edit | edit source]
Cancer patients are susceptible to infection, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Aside from that, there are a variety of factors that predisposes the cancer patient to infection such as immune deficiencies, organ dysfunction, concurrent illness and past infections, nutritional status, psychological stress, surgery and diagnostic and invasive procedures.[1]

Drug Toxicities
Certain drugs have been shown to increase the risk for the development of pulmonary complications such as respiratory failure.[2] This include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mTOR kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibody, taxanes. A study showed that exposure to one of more of these medications was a significant risk factor in the development of respiratory failure.[2]
