Cancer patients are at higher risk of COVID-19 infection as they are highly immunocompromised. The patients' adherence to control measures is affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19. This study assesses the KAP towards COVID-19 among the admitted cancer patients in Nepal and is first of its kind.
