Abstract
Patient diagnosed with lymphoma presents a greater risk of infection, mainly if undergoing anti-CD20 therapy, splenectomized, hypogammaglobulinemic. They can therefore benefit from a vaccination program, especially in the watchful waiting phases or before starting oncologic treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised awareness on vaccinations in frail patients, but a homogeneous approach has yet to be achieved across different vaccinations. In this sense, FIL researchers conducted a multicenter survey to evaluate the attitude of hematologists to anamnestically evaluate the patient's vaccination history and to plan vaccinations before treatments. In this work we present the results of the survey which denote attention to the topic but not homogeneous behavior regarding the proposal and timing of vaccinations.
期刊介绍:
Leukemia & Lymphoma in its fourth decade continues to provide an international forum for publication of high quality clinical, translational, and basic science research, and original observations relating to all aspects of hematological malignancies. The scope ranges from clinical and clinico-pathological investigations to fundamental research in disease biology, mechanisms of action of novel agents, development of combination chemotherapy, pharmacology and pharmacogenomics as well as ethics and epidemiology. Submissions of unique clinical observations or confirmatory studies are considered and published as Letters to the Editor
