A narrative review on pressure ulcer (PU) studies relevant to medical imaging

Abstract

Cancer patients are at increased risk of developing severe and even lethal form of Sars-CoV-2 infection. In the current health crisis, rapid treatment, but adapted to the epidemiological context, must be offered to them. In Morocco and more particularly at the Regional Oncology Center of Agadir, a working group has met to put forward proposals on the management of cancer patients during this crisis. The current epidemiological situation in Morocco and precisely in the South is still under control, therefore management should not make cancer patients lose their chances of cure. We suggest that the possibilities of seeking care be safeguarded while adapting treatments to the epidemic context and government prerogatives.
