The decision should be based on the cancer type and stage, the clinical condition of the patient, the treatment indicated for the condition, the patient's response to anticancer therapy, and the potential risks for an infection with SARS-CoV-2.	./cache/cord-351555-hsgsuor2.txt	./txt/cord-351555-hsgsuor2.txt
