BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed extraordinary demands from patients,
providers, and health care systems. Despite this, surgical oncologists must
maintain focus on providing high-quality, empathetic care for the almost 2
million patients nationally who will be diagnosed with operable cancer this year.
The focus of hospitals is transitioning from initial COVID-19 preparedness
activities to a more sustained approach to cancer care. METHODS: Editorial Board
members provided observations of the implications of the pandemic on providing
care to surgical oncology patients. RESULTS: Strategies are presented that have
allowed institutions to successfully prepare for cancer care during COVID-19, as
well as other strategies that will help hospitals and surgical oncologists manage
anticipated challenges in the near term. Perspectives are provided on: (1)
maintaining a safe environment for surgical oncology care; (2) redirecting the
multidisciplinary model to guide surgical decisions; (3) harnessing telemedicine
to accommodate requisite physical distancing; (4) understanding interactions
between SARS CoV-2 and cancer therapy; (5) considering the ethical impact of
professional guidelines for surgery prioritization; and (6) advocating for our
patients who require oncologic surgery in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
CONCLUSIONS: Until an effective vaccine becomes available for widespread use, it
is imperative that surgical oncologists remain focused on providing optimal care
for our cancer patients while managing the demands that the COVID-19 pandemic
will continue to impose on all of us.
