Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation (HBVr) represents a severe and potentially life-threatening condition, and preventive measures are available through blood test screening or prophylactic therapy administration. The assessment of HBVr traditionally considers factors such as HBV profile, including hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen, along with type of medication (chemotherapy; immunomodulants). Nevertheless, consideration of possible patient's underlying tumor and the specific malignancy type (solid or hematologic) plays a crucial role and needs to be assessed for decision-making process.
乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)再激活(HBVr)是一种严重且可能危及生命的病症,可以通过血液检测筛查或预防性治疗来预防。HBVr 的评估传统上考虑了 HBV 谱等因素,包括乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)和乙型肝炎核心抗原抗体,以及药物类型(化疗;免疫调节剂)。然而,考虑到患者潜在的肿瘤以及具体的恶性肿瘤类型(实体瘤或血液瘤)也起着至关重要的作用,需要对其进行评估以做出决策。
