Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Patients with rare blood cancers (blood neoplasms) faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic until active and passive measures were implemented. The severity of the disease is influenced by various factors, such as the patient’s immunity and treatment. The safety and efficacy of disease measures may vary depending on the SARS-CoV-2 variant and the disease epidemiology. To address these issues, this Special Issue will gather an important collection of articles that explore the latest research and development efforts in this field. We welcome original articles, reviews, and viewpoints covering vaccines and the experiences of hematologists and infectious disease specialists who have treated blood neoplasm patients with SARS-CoV-2.

Prof. Dr. Monia Marchetti
Guest Editor
