Dr. Michael Ein answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

FEVER BY TUMOR: Tumor fever is a fever caused by a cancerous tumor or leukemia. It can be quite high and hectic in nature. It usually resolves with low dose non steroidal anti-inflammatory agent treatment with naprosyn or celebrex (celecoxib). It will also usually resolve with sucessful chemotherapy.
