The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic epicentre has moved to the USA
and Europe, where it is placing unprecedented demands on healthcare resources and
staff availability. These service constraints, coupled with concerns relating to
an increased incidence and severity of COVID-19 among patients with cancer,
should lead to re-consideration of the risk-benefit balance for standard
treatment pathways. This is of particular importance to pancreatic cancer, given
that standard diagnostic modalities such as endoscopy may be restricted, and that
disease biology precludes significant delays in treatment. In light of this, we
sought consensus from UK clinicians with an interest in pancreatic cancer for
management approaches that would minimise patient risk and accommodate for
healthcare service restrictions. The outcomes are described here and include
recommendations for treatment prioritisation, strategies to bridge to later
surgical resection in resectable disease and factors that modify the risk-benefit
balance for treatment in the resectable through to the metastatic settings.
Priority is given to strategies that limit hospital visits, including through the
use of hypofractionated precision radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy treatment
approaches.
