COVID-19 continues to dominate the health-care burden in the twenty-first century. While health-care professionals around the world try their best to minimize the mortality from this pandemic, we also continue to battle the high mortality from different types of cancer. For the hemostasis and thrombosis specialist, these two conditions present some unusual similarities including the high rate of thrombosis and marked elevation of D-dimers. In this forum article, we discuss these similarities and provide some considerations for future research and therapeutic trials.
COVID-19 在 21 世纪继续主导着医疗负担。虽然世界各地的医疗专业人员都在尽力降低这场大流行的死亡率,但我们仍在与不同类型癌症的高死亡率作斗争。对于止血和血栓形成专家来说,这两种情况存在一些不寻常的相似之处,包括高血栓形成率和 D-二聚体明显升高。在本论坛文章中,我们讨论了这些相似之处,并为未来的研究和治疗试验提供了一些考虑因素。
