ABSTRACT
The emergence of the covid-19 disease pandemic caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus has required a re-evaluation of treatment practices for clinicians caring for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll). The American Society for Hematology (ash) has provided a series of recommendations for the treatment of patients with cll during the pandemic, covering a range of topics, including testing for covid-19, cll treatment initiation and selection, use of immunoglobulin therapy, in-person monitoring, and treatment of patients with cll and covid-19. We summarize the ash recommendations and discuss their applicability as guidelines for the treatment of cll during the covid-19 pandemic in Canada.
