BACKGROUND/AIM: The COVID-19 pandemic is a unique challenge to the care of patients with hematological malignancies. We aim to provide supportive guidance to clinicians making individual patients decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular during periods that access to healthcare resources may be limited.
This review also provides recommendations, which are convenient in evaluating indications for therapy, reducing therapy-associated immunosuppression, and reducing healthcare utilization in patients with specific hematological malignancies in the COVID-19 era. Specific decisions regarding treatment of hematological malignancies will need to be individualized, based on disease risk, risk of immunosuppression, rates of community transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and available local healthcare resources.
背景/目的:COVID-19 大流行是对血液系统恶性肿瘤患者护理的独特挑战。我们的目标是为临床医生在 COVID-19 大流行期间,特别是在获得医疗资源可能受到限制的时期,为患者做出个人决策提供支持性指导。
本综述还提供了建议,这些建议有助于评估治疗适应症、减少与治疗相关的免疫抑制以及减少 COVID-19 时代特定血液系统恶性肿瘤患者的医疗保健利用。血液系统恶性肿瘤的治疗决策需要个体化,具体取决于疾病风险、免疫抑制风险、SARS-CoV-2 在社区中的传播率以及当地可用的医疗保健资源。
