  ABSTRACT: Background: Neutropenic sepsis is a frequent complication of cytotoxic chemotherapy delivered for cancer patients. Its management is well determined by clinical guidelines. Non-neutropenic sepsis is another potential complication in cancer patients. Its management is less established in the medical literature. Materials and Methods: Three cases are presented to illustrate favourable evolution of non-neutropenic biliary-, uro- and bronchogenic-sepsis in cancer patients with poor prognosis. Results: All three patients had a survival over six months after the management of the septic complication. Two of them received subsequent systemic anticancer treatment. Conclusions: Survival benefit offered by the management of cancer-related non-neutropenic sepsis may be comparable to the benefit obtained by systemic anticancer treatments. Cost-effectiveness of sepsis management may be better than that of anticancer treatments.
