BACKGROUND: The coronavirus infection is rapidly spreading, putting a strain on
health care services across the globe. Patients with oral cancer are susceptible
often immunosuppressed due to the disease and/or the treatment received. METHODS:
We performed a simulation of the currently available data using a multistate and
hazards model to provide an objective model for counseling and decision making
for health care workers. RESULTS: Stage IV patients with oral cancer who did not
receive treatment had progression of disease and an increased mortality rate
compared to patients who receive treatment but did not contract COVID-19. The
patients who received treatment and got affected with COVID-19 had a far worse
impact and higher mortality rate than all other groups. CONCLUSION: Isolation and
deferring treatment for stage IV patients with oral cancer, so as to avoid
hospital visits and contraction of COVID-19, is an advisable strategy based on
this model.
