description The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection, caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread worldwide. Reports of COVID-19 among cancer patients are limited and most studies focus mainly on its epidemiological and clinical features. In this study, we report the case of a nasopharyngeal cancer patient from Wuhan who contracted COVID-19 during radiochemotherapy and has since recovered from the infection. We hope that this report will provide valuable insight into the treatment of SARS-CoV-2-infected cancer patients through an account of our experience.
