In a situation of predictable shortage of beds and resources due to patients with COVID-19 requiring intensive care, the usual perception of cancer with a poor life expectancy population may lead to a limitation of aggressive management of this cohort. Here, we report management of such a specific ICU during the COVID-19 infection pandemic, considering resource allocation and redistribution of healthcare workers, and anticipation of the influx of patients. To increase ICU capacity, and to reduce the number of patients admitted in the post-surgical care ward, a large number of non-urgent surgery were postponed, as well as cancer treatments that were adapted to preserve available beds in ICU.	./cache/cord-312467-kbhljong.txt	./txt/cord-312467-kbhljong.txt
