Abstract

Introduction

We report a case of advanced testicular cancer cured by early and appropriate resumption of chemotherapy even after COVID-19 infection during induction chemotherapy.

Case presentation

The patient was a healthy 36-year-old male. The diagnosis was a stage IIIB nonseminoma (pT2N2M1a). On day 14 of the first chemotherapy cycle, the patient was diagnosed with mild COVID-19. The second chemotherapy cycle was initiated with a 1-day delay (on day 10 after the COVID-19 diagnosis). The patient achieved remission with minimal postponement of chemotherapy.

Conclusion

Only a few case reports have described the resumption of anticancer chemotherapy in patients with COVID-19. In deciding when to resume chemotherapy after COVID-19 infection, it is essential to consider factors such as cancer type, progression, and severity of COVID-19 and should be tailored to individual patient needs.

诱导化疗期间感染 COVID-19 后成功治疗晚期睾丸癌并获得缓解

我们报告了一例晚期睾丸癌患者，即使在诱导化疗期间感染了COVID-19，也能通过早期适当恢复化疗而治愈。患者为 36 岁健康男性，诊断为 IIIB 期非睾丸癌（pT2N2M1a）。在第一个化疗周期的第14天，患者被诊断为轻度COVID-19感染。第二个化疗周期推迟了 1 天（在确诊 COVID-19 后的第 10 天）开始。只有少数病例报告描述了 COVID-19 患者恢复抗癌化疗的情况。在决定感染COVID-19后何时恢复化疗时，必须考虑癌症类型、进展情况和COVID-19的严重程度等因素，并应根据患者的个体需求而定。
