ABSTRACT
The evolving CoViD-19 pandemic has raised unprecedented challenges for physicians who face significant constraints in medical resources and cancer therapies. The management of patients with lymphoma represents a unique challenge given the heterogeneity of the patient population and treatment goals as well as the myriad choices of therapy available to clinicians. Adaptation in clinical practice with the goal of maintaining appropriate continuity and quality of care while mitigating exposure risk has forced clinicians around the world to develop new standards of practice and can pose difficult ethical choices in vulnerable patient populations. Based on recommendations formulated by several medical groups and societies, this article provides an overview of the general and specific practical considerations that apply to the care of lymphoma patients during the outbreak. We hope to provide a practical framework to help guide physicians in their therapeutic choices and facilitate the ongoing management of this specific patient population.
