Overview

[...]in light of the potential for patients with cancer to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 during this pandemic treatment decision making should take into account cancer type, disease extent, prognosis, and treatment opportunities irrespective of a patient's age, but acknowledge the excess risks associated with viral infection in older patients. [...]evaluation of life expectancy should be part of treatment decision making. [...]as much as possible, alternatives to standard therapy that have few side-effects on the immune system (eg, endocrine therapy vs chemotherapy) should be favoured, and are preferred to no treatment, which might lead ultimately, long after the epidemic, to excess cancer-related deaths.
