The COVID-19 pandemic has put a serious strain on health treatments as well at
the economies of many nations. Unfortunately, there is not currently available
vaccine for SARS-Cov-2/COVID-19. Various types of patients have delayed treatment
or even routine check-ups and we are adapting to a virtual world. In many cases,
surgeries are delayed unless they are essential. This is also true with regards
to cancer treatments and screening. Interestingly, some existing drugs and
nutraceuticals have been screened for their effects on COVID-19. Certain FDA
approved drugs, vitamin, natural products and trace minerals may be repurposed to
treat or improve the prevention of COVID-19 infections and disease progression.
This review article will summarize how the treatments of various cancer patients
has changed during the COVID-19 era as well as discuss the promise of some
existing drugs and other agents to be repurposed to treat this disease.
