CORONAVIRUS CANCER MONITORING - PAEDIATRICS

Following the UK corona cancer project, this project is paediatric based to provide clinical intelligence to enable good standards of care.

Reassuring findings have also come from sister project @coronapaedonc, which found that children with cancer were not at greater risk of severe #COVID19 infection than any other child ⬇️

The cancer community with >100 collaboratoring doctors have reviewed cases of COVID-19 in cancer patients in the UK. We now know more about risk by subtype and this will help us protect the most vulnerable and keep cancer patient safe.

Results from the @coronapaedonc project suggest children receiving cancer treatment are not at increased risk of developing symptoms from #COVID19 and do well even if on very rare occasions they develop the more serious symptoms

Very pleased for the first infographic to be released @CCLG_UK. The data currently suggests that children receiving cancer treatments are at no more of a risk of developing symptoms associated with COVID19 infection.
