The Pancreas in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Infection
An association between acute pancreatitis (AP) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been proposed but the mechanisms of pancreatic injury of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the implicative role on the development of AP are not yet fully understood. COVID-19 also imposed major challenges on pancreatic cancer management. We conducted an analysis on the mechanisms of pancreatic injury by SARS-CoV-2 and reviewed published case reports of AP attributed to COVID-19. We also examined the pandemic effect on pancreatic cancer diagnosis and management, including pancreatic surgery.

The Pancreas in COVID-19 Infection
An association between acute pancreatitis (AP) and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been proposed, but the mechanisms of pancreatic injury of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2) and the implicative role on the development of AP are not yet fully understood. On the other hand, patients admitted with AP who are infected by SARS-CoV-2 should be carefully managed, as evidence indicates a more aggressive disease course. COVID-19 also imposed major challenges on pancreatic cancer management.We conducted an analysis on the mechanisms of pancreatic injury by SARS-CoV2 and reviewed published case ...

Impact of COVID-19 on Pancreatic Cancer Research and the Path Forward
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 and related coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have deleteriously affected cancer research worldwide, including basic, translational, and clinical fields, because of prolonged shut-down of research laboratories consequent to lockdown restrictions, curtailment of researchers ’ laboratory access, decreased availability of patient samples, and clinical trial disruptions.1–5 In addition, cuts in funding are significantly contributing to the impact and are threatening the viability of cancer research as a whole.

High Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Manifestations of COVID-19 Infection in Hospitalized Patients With Cancer
Conclusions: Acute GI symptoms associated with COVID-19 are highly prevalent in hospitalized cancer patients and can occur as a presenting symptom without respiratory symptoms. Symptoms are severe in a small subset of patients.
