Abstract

The daily life of humanity has been strongly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and cancer patients, being a risk group, since they show unfavorable outcomes when they are infected. The objective is to evaluate and analyze the guidelines for the treatment and management of the cancer population in the pandemic period. The Virtual Health Library and Lilacs platforms were used to select articles referring to the treatment of cancer patients during the Covid-19 pandemic, selecting 10 publications that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles corroborated the need for particular treatment strategies and the adoption of preventive measures against the infection caused by Sars-CoV-2. The studies and research discussed active treatment, palliative care and mental health of both patients and health professionals. It can be affirmed that the ideal treatment is to balance the measures to prevent the contagion of the virus and the strategies to offer the best treatment considering the particular aspects of each case, the well-being of patients, as well as health professionals, the impact of late diagnoses and the accumulation of surgeries for the current and future treatment of cancer patients and the health network.
