COVID-19 Clinical Oncology Frequently Asked Questions

ASCO invited its members to submit questions about issues and challenges they see emerging while caring for patients with cancer in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. Currently, limited clinical cancer-specific data are available and information is evolving. The following answers to questions we received are based on evidence gathered through a PubMed search of the medical literature, a search of relevant websites with information on infectious diseases (CDC, WHO, IDSA, etc.), and input provided by clinical oncologists and infectious disease experts. ASCO will update this information as new questions emerge and evidence develops.
