What is the Prognosis for Cancer Patients with VAP?
The prognosis of cancer patients who develop VAP can be quite poor, with a higher mortality rate compared to non-cancer patients. The presence of VAP can complicate cancer treatment and prolong hospital stays. Early detection and prompt, appropriate treatment are essential to improving outcomes. Multidisciplinary care involving oncologists, infectious disease specialists, and critical care teams is critical for managing these complex cases.
