  3. INTRODUCTION Lots of myths have been spread related to the connection between COVID-19 and lung cancer. Some of them are logical while rests are just a myth.

  4. While a patient is already suffering from lung cancer, the diagnosis of the coronavirus becomes a beat tricky.

  5. The symptoms of coronavirus are almost similar to that of lung cancer. In both cases, the patient experiences: • Fever • Cough • Breathing problem • Inflammation of lungs

  6. Treatments As usual social distancing is the best way to lower the chances of coronavirus attacks in lung cancer patients. • Limiting the number of times for visiting the clinic or hospital. • Avoiding or at least decreasing (when avoiding is impossible) the treatments that weaken the immune system • Using telemedicine visits instead of in-person clinic visits.

  7. Prevention of complication If you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, you are indeed more exposed to the COVID-19 virus attack. To discuss you’re treatment plan and even the basic to basic side-effect symptoms with your doctor. Don’t ignore any of the symptoms as the common side-effect.

  8. Follow the COVID-19 preventive measure more strictly • Every time you cough, sneeze, or blow your nose, wash your hand with soap for 20 seconds or use a hand sanitizer • Always wear a mask in public places. • Main social distancing, even of wear a mask. • If you have a plan of surgery, discuss it with your doctor if you can be delayed. • Try to do routine breathing exercises as per your doctor’s instruction
