Pele, the world-famous football legend, has beenĀ ā€˜moved to end-of-life careā€™ ward in the hospital, some reports have said.
This is because his body is no longer responding to chemotherapy in the fight against bowel cancer, Daily Mail reported.
Reports from Brazil indicated that the 82-year-old legend, who went into hospital last week, is receiving measures to relieve pain at Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo.
He was admitted to the hospital last Tuesday after suffering from ā€˜general swellingā€™ and ā€˜heart failure.ā€™
An update on Thursday said the football icon was in a ā€˜stableā€™ condition in the hospital with his daughter Kely insisting there was ā€˜no cause for alarm.ā€™
However, a report by Folha de Sao Paulo on Saturday, said ā€œPele is not responding any longer to the chemotherapy treatment he has been undergoing since last September to treat his bowel cancerā€.
Palliative care is for patients with potentially life-threatening diseases or conditions.
