Author ProfileAbstract
Cancer patients, particularly those post-surgery, are prone to skin
infection following immersion in flood waters. We reported secondary
surgical site infection in a postoperative 80-year-old post-operation
breast cancer patient affected by Typhoon Hagibis. Individualized
responses based on individual and environmental risks are crucial to
alleviate the damage of disasters.27 Oct 2020Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 27 Oct 2020Submission Checks Completed
