Abstract

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared in March 2020. The first wave of the pandemic was marked by strict epidemiological measures: lockdown, social distancing, and self isolation. Cancer patients receiving systemic oncology treatments were considered a high-risk population regarding COVID19. These new circumstances posed possible obstacles for the treatment continuation, which in turn potentially led to an increase in distress. This study aimed to examine the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on a distress level among cancer patients.
