Abstract

Liang et al.1 first reported a nationwide analysis of cancer patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection in China. They found COVID-19 cases with a history of cancer was higher than the incidence of cancer in the overall Chinese population, suggesting that cancer patients were more susceptible to infection, and were observed to have a higher risk of severe events. However, there are many options for radiotherapy timing in the comprehensive treatment plan, so it is recommended to postpone the radiotherapy plan if it is not necessary during the pandemic.
