Riassunto
The novel coronavirus outbreak point out the need of a paradigm shift in the management of head and neck cancer.
A review of literature was performed analyzing the risk of infection in head and neck cancer patients in order to re-organized oncological approach balancing risk of exposition in these immunocompromised patients and risk or tumor progression due to delay in cancer treatment.
