Treatment Guidance for Patients With Lung Cancer During the Coronavirus 2019 Pandemic

Abstract: The global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic continues to escalate at a rapid pace inundating medical facilities and creating substantial challenges globally. The risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients with cancer seems to be higher, especially as they are more likely to present with an immunocompromised condition, either from cancer itself or from the treatments they receive. A major consideration in the delivery of cancer care during the pandemic is to bala… Show more

“…Lung cancer patients pose a uniquely challenging scenario in the context of COVID-19 in part because they are already vulnerable to lung infections and in the context of RT because they are at risk for radiation pneumonitis which can be challenging to distinguish clinically and radiographically [32] but is also treated with high dose steroids which may worsen COVID-19 related lung injury. Practice recommendations for lung cancer radiotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic are provided in an ESTRO-ASTRO consensus statement by Guckenberger et al Singh et al and Dingemans et al also make recommendations on standardizing the care of lung cancer patients during COVID-19 while recommending that general standard principles of practice be followed [33][34][35]. Wu et al provide guidelines for thoracic radiation therapy specifically while Kumar et al discusses alternative management options [36,37].…”

“…14 En mayo del 2020, aproximadamente 3.5 millones de casos y 250,000 muertes alrededor del mundo fueron verificadas. 3,15 La potencial exposición al virus ha generado que la transmisibilidad del SARS-CoV-2 haya variado desde su aparición, hasta este momento en que continúa la propagación a los países de Europa, América y África, con una posibilidad de contagio por cada enfermo mayor de tres y menor de cinco personas sanas, dependiendo de las costumbres de interacción social y su medio cultural. 10,15 La tasa total de casos globales fuera de China es de aproximadamente 4.5%.…”
