Brazilian soccer legend Pelé, formally known as Edson Arantes do Nascimento, has seen his health worsen during his stay at Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo, doctors said Wednesday, per Mauricio Savarese of the Associated Press.
Pelé's cancer has advanced and he is under "elevated care" because of issues with his kidneys and heart.
The 82-year-old was diagnosed with colon cancer in September 2021, when he had a tumor removed. He has been in and out of the hospital since for regular cancer treatment.
However, he was admitted to the hospital on Nov.
