OBJECTIVE: Public discussion and health-care systems worldwide have been focusing
on the COVID-19 pandemic. Does it have an impact on cancer care today? MATERIALS
AND METHODS: The PRIO ("Prevention and Integrative Oncology") Working Group
(German Cancer Society) has initiated an online survey for physicians, medical
staff and patients on April 16, 2020. Between April 16 and April 19, 47 doctors
and 146 patients filled in the questionnaires. The survey is ongoing. We present
the first data. RESULTS: A majority of German patients (76%) and physicians (71%)
report moderate or high restriction in their daily life. A minority (patients
25%, physicians 13%) was not worried that necessary treatments or diagnostics
were restricted. Organizing cancer care needs more time and efforts for 56% of
all reporting doctors. 98% of all oncologists think that restriction of family
visits has a negative impact on the mental health of cancer patients. Half of all
participants (patients 43%, physicians 47%) expect negative consequences on the
physical status of our patients. Patients feel the existing emotional stress in
34% of their physicians. 52% of physicians fear mental and/or physical longtime
consequences for themselves. CONCLUSION: There is a high level of mental and
physical stress triggered by the present COVID-19 management. After only a few
weeks, human resources are limited. They will be the most important key for
further health-care services for patients with cancer and other chronic diseases.
