Abstract

The battle against cancer is formidable even in normal circumstances and the COVID-19 selectively cancer patients with an increased risk of mortality by three times higher than those without cancer but also forced us to shut down the clinical trials in cancer patients to deal with the present crisis. We discuss here the disruptions on research in cancer with its immediate and delayed consequences and offer some suggestions to modify our practices, strategies and rationalization to help succeed the cancer treatment and research after the crisis is over.
