A diverse panel of pediatric cancer advocates and experts, whose collective experience spans the continuum of international academic medicine, industry, federal research, and cancer advocacy, recently discussed challenges for pediatric cancer research in the context of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Specifically, this special report addresses the following focus areas: (1) the critical role that translational research has played in transforming pediatric cancer outcomes; (2) the current and potential future impact of COVID-19 on pediatric cancer research; (3) target areas of COVID-19 research that may have application in immunity, oncogenesis and therapeutic discovery; and (4) future considerations and directions in maintaining pediatric cancer research during and after COVID-19.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
