Corona-Virus Shadow Over Cancer
Dear Editor, Cancer is a group of diseases involving numerous changes in cell physiology, which ultimately leads to abnormal cell growth with the possibility of spread to other parts of the body. Cancer shows common symptoms including a detectable lump, abnormal bleeding, pain, anxiety, depression, prolonged cough and unexplained weight loss [1,2]. Recently corona-virus has spread worldwide, first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The common symptoms of this virus include fever, cough, myalgia and fatigue [3]. Older people and those faced with medical problems including cancer are more at risk [4].
