ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Patients with cancer represent a vulnerable population and are at greater risk of developing serious complications as a result of a COVID-19 infection. In response, oncology societies around the world have proposed changes to their standards of care. These changes have helped guide health care providers in prioritizing clinical management of patients with cancer identifying situations in which urgent intervention is needed and those that can be triaged until the risk of infection has lessened.
