Reports in Brazil said the 82-year-old, who went into hospital last week, is receiving measures to relieve pain in an 'end-of life palliative care' ward. They said he is now in palliative care and won't be subjected to invasive tests or treatment. Palliative care is for patients with potentially life-threatening diseases or conditions and end-of-life care. The hospital confirmed Pele had been taken into hospital 'for a reassessment of the chemotherapy treatment of the colon tumour identified in September 2021.'
