Abstract

Objective: To identify in the Brazilian literature the strategies adopted in health services to maintain cancer treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This is a literature review carried out in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Sistem online databases, PubMed and the Scientific Electronic Library Online electronic library, which included productions of the year 2020, in English and Portuguese, as long as they addressed the national context on the proposed theme. Results: Four articles were selected that helped in the construction of two categories, namely: coping with the maintenance of cancer treatment by patients and organization of Brazilian cancer health services to maintain the treatment. Conclusion: It can be considered that there are still a limited number of articles in the national scenario on the theme addressed and that the gaps in the construction of knowledge directly interfere in the care of cancer patients in the course of their treatment.
