One of the universal human rights is the right to live. This right should not be restricted for patients with a haematological malignancy. All treatment options should be made available to these patients for as long as treatment is reasonable and beneficial. Healthcare should not be considered as expenditure, but rather as investment giving profits in return, not least in the form of employment opportunities.
普遍人权之一是生存权。这项权利不应限制于血液系统恶性肿瘤患者。只要治疗合理且有益，就应为这些患者提供所有治疗选择。医疗保健不应被视为支出，而应被视为一种能带来回报的投资，尤其是以就业机会的形式。
