The biggest challenge for the World Health Organization today is the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The current situation prompted major adjustments in the system of cancer care. In this review, we investigate the aspects of cancer treatment and care during the pandemic, since in this setting oncological services face challenges in determining the feasibility of anticancer treatments while minimizing the risk of infection.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to several critical challenges that impacted the healthcare system worldwide. Many guidelines have been developed internationally and nationally aiming to minimize the risk of infection and its sequential complications. Cancer patients on active treatment are at higher risk to get infected either due to the disease itself or the cancer treatment and other comorbid diseases. In this manuscript we share our local experience while delivering oncology services during the COVID-19 pandemic at Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
