Oncology Scientific Update in Covid Pandemic

International Association of Oncology (IAO) one of the leading professional associations for medical oncology & life science professionals caring for people meant for research and development in the field of medical oncology and life science is organizing a free webinar on “Oncology Scientific Update in Covid Pandemic”.

This webinar mainly focus on:

- COVID 19 and Cancer
- Ensure the continuum of care
- Essential cancer services should be delivered but all steps should be taken to protect patients from infection with COVID-19. Individual risk from exposure to COVID-19 varies from patient to patient, and all risks should be balanced against the need for tumor control and discussed on a case-by-case basis with the patient.

In some oncology departments, cancer services have been prioritized according to urgency, giving high priority to patients receiving treatment for active disease while postponing follow-up visits. However, in the majority of patients, the benefit of following a well-planned and well-controlled anti-cancer treatment plan will outweigh the risk of a coronavirus infection.
