AbstractCovid 19 emerged as a third pandemic from the corona virus family in this era. The first case was seen around in December 2019 in China and soon it spread to multiple nations and was declared a pandemic on 11th march 2020 by WHO. Cancer patients are more susceptible to infections due to already impaired immune system and tumor load. Around 1500 patients infected with covid 19 admitted at our institute which is a tertiary care centre, of which 8 patients had cancer. The demographic, clinical and hematological data was collected and using descriptive analysis inferences were drawn. Most common malignancy was found to be carcinoma buccal mucosa. One of the most common hematological features was anemia and lymphopenia. Most of the patients were asymptomatic and visited hospital for routine preoperative check up and were found covid 19 positive.
