How can cancer patients protect themselves from infections?
Cancer patients can take several measures to protect themselves from infections:
Practice good hand hygiene by washing hands frequently with soap and water or using hand sanitizer. Avoid close contact with people who are sick, including family members, friends, and healthcare workers. Wear a mask in crowded or public places to reduce the risk of airborne infections. Stay up-to-date with recommended vaccinations, including the flu shot and other vaccines as advised by their healthcare provider. Maintain a clean living environment by regularly disinfecting surfaces and avoiding shared personal items.
