Abstract

Yeni kanser teşhisi konulan, kanser tedavisi (kemoterapi, radyoterapi, immünoterapi, endokrin tedavisi vb.) devam eden veya yakın zamanda tedavisi sonlanan kanser hastaları, yapılan tedaviler nedeni ile enfeksiyona daha duyarlı hale gelmektedir. Koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) sürecinde kanser hastalarının daha yüksek risk altında olduğu, morbidite ve mortalite artış hızının daha fazla olabileceği ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması gerekliliğinin önemi yapılan araştırmalarda bildirilmiştir. Kanser hastalarının tanı, tedavi ve izlemlerinin devamlılığının sağlanması ve enfeksiyon yönetiminin yapılması olası risklerin önlenmesi açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde kanser hastalarının bakım yönetimi; enfeksiyon riskini en aza indirgemek ve kanser hastalarının sağ kalımını sürdürmek amacı ile hazırlanan ulusal ve uluslararası güncel rehberlerin önerileri doğrultusunda sürdürülmelidir. Pandemi sürecinde kanser hastalarının ve onkoloji hemşirelerinin güvenliği ve sağlığı için uygun stratejiler planlanması gerekmektedir. Bu makale, COVID-19 pandemi sürecinin kanser hastalarının bakımına yansımaları ve ulusal/uluslararası güncel rehberler doğrultusunda kanser bakım hizmet sunumunu vurgulamak amacı ile derlenmiştir.
