Can chemotherapy be postponed for tumor patients? 1.Non-essential chemotherapy can be appropriately postponed to minimize outpatient chemotherapy. 2.Patients need to understand that tumor chemotherapy is divided into radical and palliative treatment. (1) Radical chemotherapy Radical chemotherapy: such as lymphoma chemotherapy, small cell lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma in early stage, etc.; Postoperative adjuvant therapy: such as breast cancer, digestive tract tumors postoperative chemotherapy, assessing the patient’s physical condition score is better, usually need to be treated on time, (2) Palliative chemotherapy can be appropriately postponed according to the actual situation, mainly because most of these patients have poorer physical condition, poorer KPS physical score, and once they receive chemotherapy, the immune function will not be as good as it should be. The main reason is that most of these patients are in poorer physical condition, with poorer KPS physical strength scores. They are also very susceptible to infections in the ordinary environment, and even more susceptible in the severe epidemic environment. 3. Outpatient chemotherapy: not recommended! The reason is that after chemotherapy, patients need to go to the hospital regularly for blood tests, and once more serious bone marrow suppression occurs, it greatly increases the risk of infection by the new coronavirus, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal adverse reactions, and also can not get timely supportive treatment.
