Clinical challenges in cancer patients with COVID-19: Aging, immunosuppression, and comorbidities
Figure 1. The characteristics of cancer patients with COVID-19.

Management strategies including tele-medicine, pre-hospital screening, social isolation, personal protection, and so on were proposed to protect the susceptible population.
