Abstract

OSPINA-IDARRAGA, Juan Alejandro et al. Latin American Study Group of Lymphoproliferatives (GELL) for the management of Lymphoma in a state of Pandemic SARS CoV-2 / COVID 19. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2020, vol.24, suppl.1, pp.192-226.  Epub May 08, 2021. ISSN 0123-9015.  https://doi.org/10.35509/01239015.690.

The existence of SARS-CoV2, the cause of COVID 19 disease, was detected for the first time in China in December 2019. The virus quickly spread across Europe and Asia, taking a couple months to reach Latin America. It has been shown that elderly patients and those with chronic diseases, including cancer, have a higher risk of mortality from COVID-19. Consequently, many doubts arise in the group of health professionals responsible for treating patients with cancer during the pandemic, as they must balance the risk-benefit of delivering treatment to patients with an increased risk for severe manifestations resulting from COVID-19. In this consensus we propose recommendations for hematology professionals who provide treatment to patients suffering from some type of lymphoma, with the aim of clarifying the clinical picture during the pandemic.
