ABSTRACT: New corona virus disease COVID-19 is a pandemic outbreak viral
infection that is highly contagious. The disease can affect any age groups.
Majority of patients show mild or no symptoms. Immunocompromised patients and
patients with co-morbidities are more vulnerable to have more aggressive
affection with higher rate of complications. Thus, cancer patients carry a higher
risk of infection. Diseased patient can transmit infection throughout the disease
course starting from the incubation period to clinical recovery. All healthcare
workers contacting COVID-19-positive patients are at great risk of infection,
especially the anesthesiologists who can be exposed to high viral load during
airway manipulation. In the National Cancer Institute of Egypt, we apply a
protocol to prioritize cases where elective cancer surgeries that would not
affect patient prognosis and outcome are postponed during the early phase and
peak of the pandemic till reaching a plateau. However, emergency and urgent
surgeries that can compromise cancer patient?s life and prognosis take place
after the proper assessment of the patient?s condition. AIM: This review aims to
spot the management of cancer patients undergoing surgery during the COVID-19
pandemic in the National Cancer Institute, Egypt.
