description | Despite the extent of the COVID-19 infection worldwide, the impact of the pandemic in our country remains low thanks to containment measures. On July 11, 2020, the spread of the virus in Morocco has caused more than 15,000 cases and 243 deaths. It is important to note that cancer patients are at high risk of developing COVID-19 disease. However, little changes have been made in our clinical practice in cancer management. Medical care aims are to ensure optimal treatment while minimizing the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Management should be discussed in a multidisciplinary team meeting, and any decision made, particularly influenced by the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, should be discussed and shared with the patient. In this article, we summarize our practical recommendations and how we prioritize cancer patient care during the post-COVID-19 phase. |
