Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In addition to the direct burden of disease caused by SARS-CoV2, the COVID-19 pandemic led to indirect consequences for the medical care of the population. Emergency care had to be prioritized at the cost of other conditions, such as cancer care. Elective medical treatments were postponed, and existing treatment regimens required adaptation to cancer care situations in a pandemic. Preliminary studies have reported strong deteriorations of oncology care during COVID-19, whereas others provide more heterogeneous findings.
In this context, detailed, evidence-based analyses of the consequences of the pandemic for cancer care, cancer patients, and outcome are the proposed topic of the special issue. Original research articles and review papers are welcome.
