Sometimes...: In pediatrics, as well as adult oncology, it is possible that a patient will require ICU care during their treatment for their malignancy. This can occur at any time, for many reasons. At the beginning of therapy, for the treatment of serious infections, and after large surgeries are common scenarios.
