Positron emission tomography-computed tomography use during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak

Abstract

Sir, The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2), which first appeared in Hubei/China, has spread worldwide quite rapidly since December 2019.[1] In the current scenario, it is difficult to predict when and how long the pandemic will continue. Patients with cancer are also more susceptible to infection and more likely to have serious events due to the immunosuppressive condition. However, it seems as though patients of oncology were not included in the management strategies during this pandemic; they must be remembered and be able to continue their treatments.
