\begin{abstract}
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most serious global challenges to
delivering affordable and equitable treatment to children with cancer we
have witnessed in the last few decades. This Special Report aims to
summarise general principles for continuing multi-disciplinary care
during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. With contributions from the
leadership of the International Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOP),
Children's Oncology Group (COG), St Jude Global programme and Childhood
Cancer International, we have sought to provide a framework for
healthcare teams caring for children with cancer during the pandemic. We
anticipate the burden will fall particularly heavily on children, their
families and cancer services in low- and middle- income countries.
Therefore, we have brought together the relevant clinical leads from
SIOP- Europe, COG and SIOP-PODC (Pediatric Oncology in Developing
Countries) to focus on the six most curable cancers that are part of the
WHO Global Initiative in Childhood Cancer. We provide some practical
advice for adapting diagnostic and treatment protocols for children with
cancer during the pandemic, the measures taken to contain it (e.g.
extreme social distancing) and how to prepare for the anticipated
recovery period.~%
