Popis: Background: More and more novel anticancer drugs have been approved for patients with hematological malignancies in recent years, but HBV reactivation (HBV-R) data in this population is very scarce. This study aimed to evaluated HBV-R risk in patients with hematological malignancies receiving novel anticancer drugs. Methods: HBV markers and serum HBV DNA levels of patients with hematological malignancies receiving novel anticancer drugs in a tertiary cancer hospital were retrospectively collected. HBV-R risk in the whole cohort and subgroups was described. The relevant literature was reviewed to make a pooled analysis. Results: Of 845 patients receiving novel anticancer drugs, 258 (30.5%) were considered at risk for HBV-R. The median duration of exposure to novel drugs was 5.6 (0.1–67.6) months. The incidence of HBV-R was 2.1% in patients with past HBV infection without prophylactic antiviral treatment (PAT) and 1.2% in all patients at risk of HBV-R. In a pooled analysis of 11 studies with 464 patients, the incidence of HBV-R was 2.4% (95% CI: 1.3–4.2) in all at-risk patients receiving novel anticancer drugs and 0.6% (95% CI: 0.03–3.5) in patients with anticancer drugs plus PAT. The incidence of death due to HBV-R was 0.4% (95% CI: 0.1–1.6) in all at-risk patients and 18.2% (95% CI: 3.2–47.7) in patients with HBV-R. Conclusion: Most episodes of HBV-R are preventable, and most cases with HBV-R are manageable. We recommend that novel anticancer drugs should not be intentionally avoided when treating cancer patients with HBV infection.
