Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) became a global pandemic in 2020, with a widespread impact on patients with cancer, including missed or delayed cancer diagnosis, alterations to standard treatment and risk of severe outcomes including increased morbidity or death following COVID-19.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this issue as we look back on the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on patients with cancer, and how we can use this to improve the outcomes for our patients.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: any COVID-19- and cancer-relevant research, especially long-term sequelae, outcomes, survival and vaccine effectiveness.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Alvin Lee
Guest Editor
