Several factors can contribute to the occurrence of shock in cancer patients:
Septic Shock: A severe infection leading to systemic inflammatory response and organ failure. Hemorrhagic Shock: Significant blood loss due to tumors eroding blood vessels or surgical complications. Cardiogenic Shock: Heart failure secondary to certain chemotherapies or the cancer itself. Anaphylactic Shock: Severe allergic reactions to medications or blood products. Neurogenic Shock: Damage to the nervous system often seen in advanced cancers affecting the spinal cord.
