摘要

A novel coronavirus(severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2)first detected in Wuhan,China,has spread rapidly since December 2019,causing more than 1.4 million confirmed infections and 15000 fatalities(as of April 9,2020).The outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11,2020.Isolation,quarantine,social distancing,and community containment measures were rapidly implemented in China,which helped in containing the disease.However,other low-and middle-income countries lack such extensive infrastructural capacities and resources.Cancer patients are particularly at high risk of infection and mortality due to immunosuppression.Hence self-quarantine is recommended for them.Additionally,it is becoming impossible to maintain the continuity of care when cancer patients have to avoid physical visits.Social media applications,e.g.,Facebook and WhatsApp,can provide educational group program and psychosocial support to these patients while maintain social distancing.We have analyzed their use in this review article and how it could change the follow-up of cancer patients during this pandemic.
