【 摘 要 】

The article is devoted to the most relevant topic at present — the possibilities of providing full medical care to cancer patients in the context of the spread of the COVID‑19 coronavirus pandemic. Cancer patients are the most vulnerable group, because they are at high risk from the position of immunosuppression, which is often combined with other risk factors for infection: old age, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Procrastination and delaying the start of antitumor therapy is unacceptable, since it inevitably leads to a deterioration of treatment results, an increase in one-year mortality and worsens the overall survival rate for malignant neoplasms. Thus, it is necessary to develop a set of measures that will allow all types of anti-cancer treatment to be carried out in parallel with anti-epidemic measures without losing the quality of treatment and preserving the safety of patients and medical personnel.
