摘　　要：The spread of the new coronavirus(COVID-19)infection in 2020 has had a significant impact on the treatment of cancer worldwide.During the COVID-19 pandemic,the biggest challenge for pancreatic surgeons is the difficulty in providing oncological care.In this review article,from the standpoint of surgeons,we explain the concept of triaging of patients with pancreatic tumors under the COVID-19 pandemic,and the actual impact of COVID-19 on the treatment of patients with pancreatic tumors.The most vital points in selecting the best therapeutic approach for patients with pancreatic tumors during this pandemic are(1)Oncologists need to tailor the treatment plan based on the COVID-19 phase,tumor malignant potential,and patients’comorbidities;and(2)Optimal treatment for pancreatic cancer should be planned according to the condition of each patient and tumor resectability based on national comprehensive cancer network resectability criteria.To choose the best therapeutic approach for patients with pancreatic tumors during this pandemic,we need to tailor the treatment plan based on elective surgery acuity scale(ESAS).Newly established ESAS for pancreatic tumor and flowchart indicating the treatment strategy of pancreatic cancer,are feasible to overcome this situation.
