Published series on COVID-19 support the notion that patients with cancer are a particularly vulnerable population. There is a confluence of risk factors between cancer and COVID-19, and cancer care and treatments increase exposure to the virus and may dampen natural immune responses. The available evidence supports the conclusion that patients with cancer, in particular with hematologic malignancies, should be considered among the very high-risk groups for priority COVID-19 vaccination.
已发表的关于 COVID-19 的系列研究支持这样一种观点,即癌症患者是一个特别脆弱的群体。癌症和 COVID-19 之间存在风险因素的交集,癌症治疗和治疗会增加接触病毒的机会,并可能抑制自然免疫反应。现有证据支持这样的结论,即癌症患者,特别是血液系统恶性肿瘤患者,应被视为 COVID-19 疫苗接种的极高危人群之一。
