Study Summary
This trial studies hepatitis B screening strategies of new cancer patients scheduled to undergo chemotherapy. Patients with cancer and hepatitis B virus infection are at risk of reactivation of infection after chemotherapy.

Hepatitis B screening may help doctors prevent the reactivation of hepatitis B virus infection after chemotherapy.
