Canadian Perspective on Managing Multiple Myeloma During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons Learned and Future Considerations
SHORT COMMUNICATION Canadian perspective on managing multiple myeloma during the COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned and future considerations † ‡ § || # R. Foley MD,* R. Kaedbey MD, K. Song MD, C.P. Venner MD, D. White MD, S. Doucette MSc, # A. Christofides MSc RD, and D.E. Reece MD** ABSTRACT The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has necessitated changes to the way patients with chronic diseases are managed. Given that patients with multiple myeloma are at increased risk of COVID-19 infection and related complications, national bodies and experts around the globe have made recommendations for risk mitigation strategies for those vulnerable patients. Understandably, because of the novelty of the virus, many of the proposed risk mitigation strategies have thus far been reactionary and cannot be supported by strong evidence. In this editorial, we highlight some of the risk mitigation strategies implemented at our institutions across Canada during the first wave ofCOVID -19, and we discuss the considerations that should be made when managing patients during the second wave and beyond. Key Words Coronavirus, COVID-19, multiple myeloma Curr Oncol. 2020 October27(5)270–274 www.current-oncology.com INTRODUCTION With the experience gained in managing MM during the first wave of COVID-19, it is now important to consider best In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the practices for risk mitigation during the second wave.
