Overview
The novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 infection is rapidly becoming one of the most challenging public health crises in modern history. With more than half a million confirmed infections worldwide, including more than 10,000 cases in the United States, this virus has the potential to infect individuals of all ages.
However, older individuals and patients with underlying health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and pulmonary disorders, seem to be most vulnerable to infection and to developing more severe illness. Patients with cancer must also be considered in this vulnerable and high-risk population.
But how is this pandemic specifically affecting cancer care, and what do clinicians need to know today to ensure they are providing the best care to their patients with cancer?
Participate in this live webcast and join the discussion on this fast-moving topic!
