BACKGROUND AND METHODS: There is an added level of complexity in the management
of head and neck cancer patients with underlying immunosuppressive disorders
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Head and neck oncologists are tasked with balancing
the dual risks of cancer progression in the setting of impaired tumor immunity
and increased susceptibility to life-threatening complications from exposure to
viral infection for patients and providers. Through two cases of
immunocompromised patients with newly diagnosed head and neck malignancies, we
aim to provide guidance to clinicians struggling with how to best counsel and
manage this unique subset of patients under these difficult circumstances.
RESULTS: After careful consideration of the options, we took different approaches
in the care of these two patients. CONCLUSIONS: Ultimately, there is no uniform
set of rules to apply to this heterogeneous group of immunocompromised patients.
We provide some general principles to help guide patient management during the
current pandemic.
